what happened was:
i turned off computer after normal operation,
cleaned dust out
added a dvd burner driver
brought back in and hooked up
turned on and no internet connect.
so, i checked my device manager and it recognizes that:
Netopia 802.11b WLAN USB adapter
is infact a internet adapter.
The problem is in my internet connections folder, it doesnt show that there is even a way to connect using that adapter.
I didn't change any settings, i undid the dvd burner, and still the same. its like there never was a wireless connection to begin with. the driver seems to be uptodate. i am quite lost, and if there is anyone that could possibly help that would awesome - matt
