How to get two laptop computers to access wireless network.

[AWS]

My wireless chip in a Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop computer (intel pro wireless 3954bg) can find the wireless network if I use Intel Pro software, but Windows can not find the wireless network. My real problem conserns trying to connect a second computer an

IBM T42 Think Pad computer to the wireless network, but I keep getting a message that the network is secure and the second computer keeps trying to aquire an address, but will not aquire an address. It just keeps trying to aquire over and over, it never can

aquire it. This second computer was useing Windows to configure the wireless connection and was working fine untill I tried to connect the Dell laptop up. Then the IBM laptop can not aquire an address. I am going around and around trying to figure this out.

Anyone have any information to fix this problem? Both computers are runing Windows XP Pro SP3. My wireless router is a Belkin54g (F5D7230-4V8000)

 

Thanks for any help,
