Connecting to Internet

I just received my HP laptop with wireless internet, yet I cannot connect to
the internet. I am using a linksys wrt54g version 2 router. I already have
a number of computers already connected wirelessly to this router with no
issues. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong with this new computer.
This is my first computer with Vista, so I'm a bit rusty with the set up.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Go to the start ORB, then "connect to".
Vista should have found your wireless Network.
Enter your Security Key, and away you go.

Hi,

Make sure the laptop's wireless switch is set to "on".
