Home network issue - Mac

Just got a new iMac today - my first venture into that world. But I'm having an issue setting up the wireless connection. We've got a wireless router, with my wife's laptop connecting wirelessly and my office computer connected wired. All used to be fine, but when she installed Windows 7, all of a sudden the network name was changed from the default DLink to "STEF-LAPTOP_NETWORK". Ok, no big deal. But now the iMac sees that and requires a password. Huh? We never set up a password. The iMac can't find the router itself, just this STEF-LAPTOP connection.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Did Windows 7 create a new virtual network with her laptop as the gateway?

Thanks for any advice.
