Do you know the username/password of the airport and how it is configured? If not then you should probably reset the airport to default settings. You usually do that via a little push and hold button somewhere on it. Sometimes it is a tiny hole that you insert a paperclip in and push and hold for 5 seconds. Othertimes it is unplug, push/hold while plugging up. Othertimes it is push, release, then push hold for 5 seconds or so. I usually do all of the above.
So the laptop does not have wireless built-in? You use a usb wg311v3 for the laptop?[/url]
You could start by just trying to connect the laptop to the airport before even plugging the airport into the router.
crank up the laptop, pull up wicd, and see if you can find and connect to the airport
