Default Wireless connection problems

Hi all

Having a bit of trouble at home, i've got sky wireless, which my laptop connects to perfectly, so I know there is no problem with the router etc.

When I use the PC tho, it takes ages to connect sometimes, and it will say 'connected to sky36072 (unsecured)'. The internet will not work until i restart the computer and the modem/router several times until it says connected but without the unsecured bit.

I have noticed a few times as well if i have both of them connected at the same time then occasionally it will flash up with something to do with an IP address conflict on the laptop.

Anyone have any ideas as to what could be wrong? I presume it has to be something wrong on with the PC, but i don't know what!

Thanks in advance
