As nitemare said, I'd guess it's related to security setup on your router, either WEP, WPA, or Mac address Filtering.

After that I would check for a firmware update for your router and try a different router.
i used to trouble shoot these for my job, i'm 90% sure its teh security
if you don't have your security key entered, or not entered correctly, you'll get "limited or no conectivity", or "verifying identity", thus you need to get your WEP or WPA key off your firmware, using a wired connection, then enter it in to your settings

assuming your using winXP:
1. you can enter it by going to your network connections in your control panel right clicking on your wireless connection then click on properties
2. click on teh wireless networks tab(if you don't see it go to step 2b, otherwise skip 2b)
look to where it says preferred netowrks, select your router and click on properties
      2b.(skip if you have the wireless networks tab)go to your control panel and select administrative tools, then open up services, then go down to the bottom and enable and start the "wireless zero configuration" service, you should now have teh tab

3. in the association tab,  uncheck the "this key is provided to me automatically" box, then enter your key in the network key feilds, no spaces or collens(:),

4. click on the authentication tab then uncheck the "enable IEEE 802.1x..."

click ok and you should be done and connected
