adding laptop to wireless network

hello, i just got a new dell laptop with built in wireless internet. i have a d-link wireless router on my home computer and another laptop connected that the network. my new laptop reconizies this and shows that it gets good reception from it, however it is "security-enabled" and will not let me connect to my d-link wireless network. i was wondering if anyone knows how i can get wireless internet to my new laptop? thanks! :)

Whoever setup your security will know how to set up your other laptop

If the router doesn't show it, you have to reset the key on the network.

Assuming it's actually *his* network. ;)
