Angry Netgear USB and Airport compatability

I have a PC desktop with Netgear USB wireless card, a MacBook and an Airport extreme router. I had to install a new hard drive in my desktop and now cannot get reconnected to the 'net. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am all out of ideas and patience!

What frequency did you setup the Airport Extreme, a, b, g, n? Plus did you hide the SSID (name of the router) or what security did you put on the wireless?

Well check in the PC that it sees the network if you temporarily take the security off the network. Plus make sure the PC is trying to use the old SSID name for the router it is trying to connect to.
