Answer 1

in your address bar type in 192.168.1.1 and it should come up to a setup screen where you can change settings. if u have wep security, you need to put the password on the other laptop

Answer 2

When asking for help in such things as networks and computers in general, you need to be a bit more specific.

I am only guessing but is sounds like the dsl/cable is running correctly.

There are so many settings in a router, like WEP, WEP2, WPA, is the network secure or not? Are you using MAC addresses? Did you create a SSID in router? Did you create a network connection on your laptop using same SSID?

Without more specifics it will be hard to help you.
