Wireless in Linux

[zrs_12]

Hello everyone at ubuntuforums.com. I am having trouble with my wireless internet connection in Kubuntu/Ubuntu (installed the Ubuntu desktop on Kubuntu KDE4). I am dual-booting Win XP pro SP3 and the afore mentioned. I have encryption on the network so I have a security key. In Win, it asks for the key, I type it in, and everything is good: I'm connected. In linux, however, when it says I need to enter a security key, I enter it and it acts like it's connecting and then pops up and asks again. This is the same key I gave Windows and it connected. Any ideas on what I should do to connect? TIA.
