Sounds to me like you're connecting to the router just fine, but it's not connecting you to the Internet. Are you using any kind of wireless security through the router? Is your modem receiving a signal from your ISP?

The linited or no connectivity means that your computer didn't recieve a IP address. Either your card isn't sensitive enough to pick up a wifi signal at that range, or the network doesn't have a DHCP server. Your computer is assigned an automatic private address if windows XP doesn't recieve an IP address. An automatic private address is an IP address starting with 169.254.x.x.
