First you have to see if it's getting an IP address. I trust that it's enabled. Disable any encryption and disable the wired NIC. The encryption could be your problem. After you do that, open a command prompt and run:
ipconfig /all press enter.
It should have an IP address of 182.168.1.X
X could be any number from 2 to 254.

Where is the wireless router you're attempting to connect to?

That's a good question. One time I was in Staples talking to an employee and another customer came in with his young son and said, "I have a problem with my wireless connection."
The employee asked, "How far away is the PC from the router"? The customer answered, "Eleven miles".
