When you put the network cable into your laptop it should bring up (found new hardware) then it will install the drivers then it would need to be rebooted.
So all fine so far now that your running again select *connect to a network* from the start menu
this will bri ng up a box where you select the modem (the one you have connected)
then it will ask for a wep key (or other security code format)
enter the code and then it will connect to the net via that modem
The wep key will be from the settings in the modem (router)
