Hello

In order to help diagnose your problem, let's get a little more information.

First, open up a shell (open Terminal in GNOME or Konsole in KDE). Then, give us the output that you get from running 1) "iwconfig", 2) "ifconfig" and 3) "route".

iwconfig is used to configure (or get information about) wireless networks. Everything here is probably normal (since you can see the Windows network), but it doesn't hurt to be thorough.

ifconfig is used to configure (or get information about) the actual network settings (IP address, etc.). Again, this is probably normal.

Where I suspect the trouble may lie is in the kernel routing table (which tells Linux how to find computers in other networks, e.g., across the Internet). The "route" command will tell us about this.

I found the documents on the community wiki useful pertaining to your problem please have a look at these links carefully and if you are in trouble again post back with the above info request...
