how to add my new vista laptop to my home network

I have an xp desktop with router, xp laptop connects to network just
fine.

How do I add my new Vista laptop to the network??

I go to the Network and Sharing Centre, click to connect and the
Laptop doesn't find the network.

Can someone advise?

Thanks!!

The above should help re: workgroup name, network discovery, password
protect, etc
