Router Won't Issue an IP Number

I'm new to this networking thing, but.........
Dell Dimension PC using Win xp with Aol BB 2Meg. Bought a wireless enabled Dell Laptop 630M. Installed an Aol Netgear Wireless Modem Router. Plugged it into the PC - fine! Unboxed the laptop, switch on and yes, it knows the network, but says it is not getting an Ip number from the router and so can't connect.
The router is already set up for Aol idiots like me so all I had to do was name the network and put in a specific 13 digit code and that was supposed to be that!
Any ideas please - and please keep it fairly simple!
Cheers,
mcdhu
