If you are getting an error that the WEP or WPA key is wrong, it's most likely NOT a DHCP issue. If you are 101% sure you are typing in the key correctly with no errors, there is a slight possibility that your router got reset somehow. (Did someone press its reset button?) If so, then the key stored in the router was wiped out, and of course, it wouldn't match now! If you don't know how to log into your router's config page and have no manual, try going to their website. Manufacturers post free PDF's of their manuals to download. You can also try shutting off the security temporarily (turn off WEP/WPA) and see if it connects then. Then re-enable it with a new passphrase. Hope this helps a little!
1. Make sure the pass phrase is correct with caps and no caps. also since you didn't state what product and brand the router is its hard to tell you how to do this. if its a linksys... try 192.168.1.1 and there should be a dhcp tab.

What kind of router do you have?
Thanks for the feedback guys. To give more information, the wireless router brand is a 2WIRE133, and I have been using the WEP since we got the router. The bit about the possibility that it could be reset is something I haven't thought of and detailed instructions on that would be helpful if anyone would care to give them. Hopefully, knowing the router brand will help clear things up.
