    OK Nick we need more detail. The ceiling box must be a fan rated box not just and old light box. You should have a hot/black and a white/neutral, a green or bare ground would be desirable. If by "i have two white and one black " you mean you have 2 whites in the box and one hot we must test to find out what the whites are doing. Do you have a tester? Look at the fan carefully and tell us the colors and numbers of wires coming out of the fan, also tell us if there is a light kit on it.
