If the signal is strong, and you are connected, it sounds like you may need the key to connect. Linksys routers will allow you to connect, but will not give you access to the network if you do not provide the proper key.
I would recommend logging into the router via your wired computer by opening a browser and going to "http://192.168.0.1". The username is probably blank and the default password should be 'password' or 'admin'. You can set up your wireless options/key via the menu that will show up.
If all else fails, check the manual for the router, or go to linksys.com and download the manual.

SSID match on router and wifi card? double check. open internet explorer and go to 192.168.1.1 and check all the settings for the router

The person who owns the connection may be blocking you, if they have norton it will detect you connecting and they may dismiss it as a virus and have hit block always.
