New Router, New PC, but my old wireless laptop still keeps the old information

Also
1) The laptop's "view wireless networks" still shows the old network name.
2)  When selecting the new network name and hitting Connect, it does not even let me enter the new key (which linksys router sets and is a very long number).  It goes ahead with an already typed in key - which seems to me to be the old key for my old network on my old pc.

It seems that you are working on Windows XP operating system ..... try this setting:
Open wireless network connection properties .... go to wireless network tab....
remove all networks from preferred network list .......click "ADD" ..... type in the new network name under SSID blank space ......
 Network authentication leave it under "open" .....
 Data encryption make it disable .....
 Click ok ....
 Again go to "view available network" ..... try to connect to new network..... it will ask you for network key ..... type in the key ...... confirm it & click connect ........
Wait for the message when it shows connected ............
Try going online .......
