If you do, what type - wep, wpa ? If possible, can you try just setting your router or whatever to use an unencrypted connection type. Then see if you can access with wireless. If that works, then the issue is with your encryption setup on your Ubuntu machine. WEP is generally easy, WPA more problematic. Which version of Ubuntu? I assume it is 7.04? Do you have another method of connection to the web/usbkey etc which will allow you to download? If so, take a look at - http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu-linux.html which will hopefully sort you out if you use wpa.
