Did you set up Internet Connection Sharing on the laptop that is
connected to your wired network? See

If you're not using WinXP, see
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/ics/ics.htm
BTW, did you mean that you had disabled "WEP" (encryption)? When you
re-enable encryption use WPA2 or at least WPA. WEP can be easily
cracked in a few minutes using free tools downloadable from the Internet.
