Hello Yahya,

I take you are using a laptop (hence the USB stick as WLAN). I had a
similar problem with my laptop: I could get an IP address from my access
point, but could not connect to the internet. 
Don't know why but this did the trick for me:
System > Administration > Network 
(enter your password)
Find your WLAN connection and Enable it or remove the roaming mode. 

More info on the system would be useful for troubleshooting.
What is the make of the WLAN USB stick? (type lsusb in a termimal window
if you don't know)

What version of Ubuntu did you install?


Finally: are you aware of the existence of a support mailing list in
Italian? you can subscribe at this address:
ubuntu-it at lists.ubuntu.com

Cheers,

Michele
