I can't seem to find a way for it to search for local wireless IP's? It's a laptop, and that is how I have always connected, here at home or away.
What am I doing wrong?

That's a hard question without specifics. I recommend going to the linux disto's web site and looking for your wireless card in the forums, to make sure that linux recognizes it. If you are using KDE with your distro, they have a wireless connection assistant in the KDE menu somewhere.

Just click on the wireless icon down at the bottom right. A window will pop up and you can click "scan". Click the network you want to attach to and enter your WEP or WPA details.
You should also be able to navigate from the K menu to "Wireless Settings".
Check your distribution's forum pages for specific information.
