New Fujitsu Vista Laptop (wont accept network key)

Just bought a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro V3515 installed with Vista Home
Basic. The laptop will not connect by wireless to my Modem/Router. when it
says "Connect to internet" I click it. Then the available wireless networks
come up and I choose mine. It then asks for the Network Key which I type in.
It then comes back that this is the wrong Network Key.The key is totally 100%
right as it is being used on my old XP laptop which has never had any
problems. I tried connecting it to a nearby unsecure network and that worked
fine. Need help urgently. Thanks.

Cable & Wireless ADSLR10CW3 Wireless Modem/Router
WPA pre-shared key ENABLED
Data encryption - TKIP

FURTHER UPDATE - After spending 6 hours trying to get this working, I
progressed slightly. My Laptop will connect to my modem ONLY if I disable WPA
on the modem. This however leaves my network completely open to attacks etc.
If I turn WPA on again, it disconnects and back to square one. Please please
can somebody help. Im going crazy.

Answered via another news group, - the key you are entering does not match
the key you designated at setup.

I'm having this exact same problem. My 2 roommates with XP laptops are
connecting fine. I have a laptop running Vista Home Premium and it keeps
telling me that the key isn't correct, when clearly it's the same one my
roommates are using to get on.

All better for me now! I upgraded the firmware on the router. Everyone's
laptop runs fine now.
