First, make sure you are not using wep or wpa.....encryption off
Make sure that under the authentication tab that use 802.1x is unchecked.
(by default it is checked on SP1)
I assume you have the router set as a dhcp server and that your laptop
is set to receive a dyn address.

Now what is the problem, more info might help..

From the Chicago Public Library Wireless FAQ:

"Numerous problems have been reported with Windows XP Service Pack 1 that
are resolved by Service Pack 2."

I agree ;-)
That, and get the latest drivers for all of the pieces involved.
MR314 sounds like an old model number.
I traded up to a WGR614v4 because my old SMC didn't seem to like XP.
