Signal but no connection? [main computer] [wifi card]

Q: Well today I have my computer back up, its in my room with a wifi card in the computer room we the router and the central computer. Anyways the computer in my room seems to beable to get the signal and router to connect, but it is as if this main computer is not part of it all, I get no internet either. I do not know what happened last time I had brought it went perfectly.

Re:I finally networked the 2 computers, I am actually transfering files to the other one as I type. But still no internet back there, and I don't have any firewalls up- to my knowledge anyways. What should I do?

Re:I would do that but my internet is still not working back there, I don't think its getting a Host address- if thats important, one is not showing up in Network Connections. Anyways if somone could give me a link to indepth wireless network setup instructions that would be very nice. All the howtos I have found are much too general.

Re:The connection is not encrypted. And if you mean the setup on the computer in my room, I've already done that twice. I'm not really sure which computer I should be working on to fix this.

Re:Sounds like you are not getting an IP address from the router and you are not actually "connected". Is the connection encrypted? Rerun the setup and try it again.
