iwlist scan - This is to see the netowrks in range.
iwconfig ethX essid <netwokrname> - The name of your netowrk.
iwconfig ethX key <the key> - The key to your netwrok.

dhclient ethX - To start the wireless on ethX.

ethX is the netorwk connection. Change this to your wireless one. You see it with ifconfig.

Ok, done =P thnx, but now I'm trying to install Samba, but I don't know how to edit the smb.conf, I search on google about editing files, and I found the comand nano, but when I'm trying to use it, it tell me that the comand wasn't found, do anyone know any other way to edit this file? I opened it and edited with the command "sudo iv /home/etc/samba" but I don't know how to save it :P, can anyone help me? thx!

You have nano. Samba config should be located in /etc/samba/.
Then do nano /etc/samba/smb.conf, vi sucks..

Nano is a text editor in linux.
Samba is a SMB server. It is used to share files and printer and so on via computers.
"nano /etc/samba/smb.conf" will open the samba config file inside nano text editor.
