WiFi Network problem with 2 computers

I have a wireless network which successfully worked with a laptop wirelessly linking into a Belkin wireless modem/router which in turn was linked by cable to a PC.

I have since bought a 2nd PC which has integrated WiFi. Unless I switch off the new PC WiFi, I can't get the laptop to connect wirelessly. It is picking up the network but is not aquiring a network address.

Similarly, if the laptop is up and running, the new PC can't pick up a network address when it is switched on.

In summary, whichever WiFi device is switched on first seems to prohibit the second device connecting.

Has anyone any suggestions which would allow both WiFi's to connect at the same time?
