Your question has nothing to do with Linux. You need to know, what you defined in your Router!

If you run Windows and double-click the wireless icon in the system tray (bottom right corner of the screen), you'll be given a list of wireless networks. One of those will be your router (through which you've been connecting to the internet under Windows). You have to select that same network in Ubuntu, then enter your network passkey (which you should have defined when you first used the router), and everything should work fine (assuming your wireless card is supported in Ubuntu).
