Old laptop help (getting online)

I picked up another old IMB Thinkpad(560) for 20$ the other day to replace one that was fatally fucked from someone spilling a large cup of coffee on it....
Anyway....the person i bought it from has windoze '95 on it(actually boots up and runs pretty quick) and used it to access online and do small programming things....so theres really nothing on it.....
I also got the ethernet pcmia card(netgear) he used with it......
now my question: how the hell do i get it to recognize my network...
i plug in the cat5 cable from my router and turn on the comp....it appears to recognize the card properly....the lights on the card indicate an active connection.....
but i open up internet explorer and nothing.......
any ideas?

Where the hell did you get a working laptop for $20? I'm so jealous!
I can't pick up a working laptop for anything less than about ?100 ($200) - even prehistoric ones.

shit is so overpriced here
