Your laptop creates an adhoc wifi network due to the hardware. An Android device can only detect/connect to an infrastructure type wifi network.
There are some apps in the Market that claim to be able to let you connect, but most need you to be rooted and are phone specific, which means for the most part, Androids really can't connect to adhoc networks.
