What else do i need to successfully power my microphone?

I have recently bought a new capsule microphone. It is a M-audio Nova. I have to admit i am new to this may have jumped into it without doing my research first. I want to plug this into my laptop to record some vocals. I have bought a preamp (Art Tube MP) with phantom power (+48v). I have put the mic through this through XLR to 1/4" jack and then outputted it to my laptop with a guitar lead but i am not getting any input from the microphone. Is this due to needing some more equipment? Maybe a control interface with sound card or different leads? I would really appreciate some advice and please correct me on any mistakes i am making. Thanks
