Do you have the router set to give out IP addresses via DHCP? There should be an option in the WRT54G's settings that allows you to enable a 'DHCP Server'. Check that this is enabled, and that your wireless client (laptop) is set to 'Obtain IP Address Automatically' (or similar).

Failing that try a reboot of the router.

If that doesn't work delete all wireless settings from your laptop and then configure that connection again from scratch.

If that doesn't work you may need to completely reset the router back to factory settings, delete the wireless settings from your laptop, and re-configure everything from scratch.
