Ad-hoc networks are used for computer to computer connections. You can't use encryption, so it's not advised for internet. You need infrastructure to set up WPA/WEP. Turn off power saving in the advanced settings of WLAN on your N96.

If you want to use internet in Ad-hoc, you've to enable Internet Connection Sharing. Try first without WEP. Keep in range of other PC/laptop (10 meters). Go to menu-> tools-> settings-> connection-> wireless LAN-> options-> advanced settings.
