need help setting up wireless on my computer

[Brian John]

Hello,
I just went to compUSA and bought their generic 802.11g PCI wireless 
card.  I was able to install it using the windows drivers at ndis0 (see 
output from ifconfig below).

The problem I'm having is I seem to be able to connect, but can't talk 
to anything.  I am using WEP encryption and I am not broadcasting my 
SSID.  My laptop running windows works flawlessly.

I've tried this command to connect to the network:
ifconfig ndis0 inet 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.255 ssid Brian 
wepmode on wepkey <my key> channel 9

...and it seems to connect (see output from ifconfig after connected 
below).  However, I can't ping my router and I can't get on the 
Internet.  Can someone please help me out?

Thanks

/Brian
