Cable modem PC Laptop networking problem.

[shoesup12]

I am using Windows XP Home on both computers. Using a Webster Modem (supplied by Charter) I am able to connect to the internet. My service is Charter.net.

Using an SMC Barricade Turbo Router and a SMC Easy Connect 11 MBPS Wireless PC card for my laptop I am unable to connect to the internet.

The cable from my PC is plugged into the router at the #3 slot. The cable from my modem is plugged into the #1 slot. No cable is plugged into the "Internet WAN" slot.

Again my PC is able to connect to the internet. I am trying to get my laptop to connect to the internet using the router and PC card mentioned above.

On my PC, under network connections (LAN or High Speed Internet) I see:
1394 Connection (1394 Adapter) which is connected / firewalled. Also, on my PC I see a Local Area Connection, which is connected / firewalled.

On my Laptop, under network connections (LAN or High Speed Internet) I see:
Wireless Network, firewalled, network connection enabled - SMC EZ connect...
and 1394 connection - disabled (1394 net adapter).

Can you tell me the solution to this problem such that my laptop can connect
to the internet???

Please help.
