It looks like you're trying to use IPv6 instead of IPv4 for your adapter

Most likely you did not configure wireless router or wireless adapter correctly, have a look on this wireless network setup tutorial, maybe can help you.

I tried taking off the IPv6 and only left IPv4 but i still cant get fully connected it just has a little yellow error sign saying it has limited or no connectivity.
The tips site didnt help much either.Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6001]

The above is called an APIPA address and it's assigned automatically by the operating system when your network interface is unable to contact a DHCP server.
So for whatever reason, you're not connecting with your wireless network.
I suggest you look over the setup of your WLAN and ensure you're using the correct SSID and password etc to join the network.

I think you're right there, i did have some trouble before with wep keys and passphrase, i think its been changed, but when i visit my routers web page its has 4 lines of wep keys and nothing in the passphrase bit, does that mean i dont even have a passphrase?
when i connected using my wireless it asked for an 8 letter passphraseedit-
I just retyped the passphrase and its fine now? its connecting perfectly! thanks for all your help!
