Default Is there something wrong with my laptops wifi?

I just got a new laptop (dell studio xps 16) and i have wifi enabled on it. But it only picks up a signal from my router and none from any other wireless networks around other than the routers. my brothers laptop, which is way older, not only picks up the router but it also picks up other wireless networks. Why wont mine pick any up? all help is appreciated, thanks!

My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 6000 with the Intel PRO/Wireless card that is able to locate and connect to "unsecure" wireless networks in my neighborhood but I decided to create my own wireless network and installed my own Linksys WRT 120N wireless router on my desktop.
