    Open a command window (start->run->cmd). Type ipconfig /all. Copy the output and paste here pls.

    As above.
    Why can't you connect: does it give an error message?
    Do you see your network when you "View Available Wireless Networks"?
    Also, what make & model is the laptop?

    Is the wifi LED on? Did you press the wireless button? Then try to View Available Wireless Networks?

    If the LED is on, please follow irlrobins' steps.

    Sounds like it's not switched on. Is there a utility program for it? Something that allows you to control and configure wireless? You might need to switched the radio on.

    The same 'password' as on your other computer... If you don't remember it: ask someone who might, or change it on your router.
