It 'should' work out of the box!
Try plugging the laptop into the router and browsing to
192.168.1.1
The password will be either linksys or admin. This is the router user interface and if you can get there you have a connection to the router.In the router config pages you should be able to see if the router has a valid Telewest IP address.
The other thing to check - have you power cycled the modem since plugging in the router?
You could also confirm that the ethernet cable from router to modem is plugged into the WAN port on the router.
