I know that the configuration some how had an affect. Anyway, I normally would type in "/sbin/ifup wlan0" in terminal to activate the internet but it doesn't work this time.

Basically, it is not letting you on the network. I am not sure what the wireless setups tools are on FC4, but if nothing else, you can use iwconfig to get your interface up and running, at least until you reboot, or someone tells you the correct tool to use on FC4.
