    If you wish, I could have a quick look at the router config remotely, but I suspect this is a mismatch in key, or possibly due to mac address filtering if you have it enabled.

    Copy and pasting the key is the best way to make sure it matches.

    I do that. What I can't understand is one minute it was working and the next time I turned on the computer it does this.

    That's computers for you..

    Are you positive that you are connecting to your router and not someone elses?

    My Belkin frequently has a problem with DHCP allocation. In the end I set everything to a fixed IP address.

    I use 192.168.2.20x, Subnet 255.255.255.0, Gateway 192.168.2.1, DNS 192.168.2.1.
