I’m not sure how to explain this, but i’ll give it my best…

I have a wireless network router by belkin, I’m the ‘main’ computer i guess, so the connection stems out from mine, i want to add my lap top to the network, it has a wireless card in it already, it will detect the wireless connection, but it won’t connect, it needs some sort of key? or what not, i’m not exactly sure what to do…

do i have to enable something on my PC, to enable my laptop to connect to my wireless network?
