Laptop says it sees the Router but no IP Address

[techygranny]

I hae a home network system on Broadband, using a Linksys 4-port router, and a Linksys Wireless G Access Point, normally I have laptop and another pc linked into this wireless system and it worked.

then I worked on someone elses computer, they have dial-up and I have wireless. So I proceeded to hook the Linksys Wireless G USB Network adapter into his system which was originally hooked to my pc and had to run the disc on his to set up wireless.

The problem now is, my laptop says it is acquiring a network but cant see it, I did an ipconfig /all and found that it does not have an ip address or subnet mask or default gateway. Also the persons system I had now states the modem needs to be reset. I need help all the way around.
