Default Desktop will not connect to Wireless network!

I am running Windows XP professional and I recently installed an
Airlink Wirless card. The router that I am using is a 2wire from SBC
Yahoo DSL with the built in wireless. When I try to connect to my
wireless network, it just sits there with the message "acquiring
network address." It never gets assigned an ip address from the
router. I also have a Dell Laptop that I use for work and it connects
up to the router using wireless just fine. I have tried releasing and
renewing my ip with no luck. Can someone be of assistance? Thanks in
advance.

This is a W98 newsgroup--you would be better served posting to
windowsxp.general or a networking newsgroup.
