that shouldn't be the problem as its more than likely the wireless chip/wireless chipset inside the laptop.

Run through what you have done

If the details on the router screen match the details in XP, it should work, and issue you with an ipaddress which will be listed when doing an ipconfig.

SSID needs to be the same, wpa-psk/tkip needs to be selected, password should be the same 8 characters, connect when in range should be ticked.

Are you sure you don't have wep ticked?

WPA is minimum 8, maximum 63

After any change click apply.

Suggest you check again, set password to 12345678

if that doesn't work, turn off encryption completely, then connect
