Unable to connect to the Internet using centos

I have just setup a wireless router and it works fine with windows vista. I am running centos on a laptop as well as on another hard drive within the same system running windows vista.

I need to know how to configure the settings within centos to connect to the internet.
I have tried entering ip, subnet mask and gateway but no luck so far.

Even prior to setting up this router, i was unable to connect to the internet using centos but at that time did not bother much about this issue.
However in the past when i used fedora, i never experienced any such issues as it used to determine the etho settings automatically.

Can you ping your other local machines?
What are the output of:
ifconfig
iwconfig
route -n
cat /etc/resolv.conf

Your wireless card was not found.
What is the output of 'lspci'?
Maybe someone with your card can help.
