At Sky when it goes in a loop either the network key has gone wrong or something is up with the config, have you tried temporarily removing all ecnryption from the router and seeing if you can connect? If you can connect try going into the router setup and change the SSID slightly so that you have to re-submit the network key.
Also I would try removing the wireless device from your device manager list, reboot and let windows rebuild it, if it's a USB device just unplug it, leave it a minute and plug it back into the PC in a different USB port.
Also I would look at your Internet Protocol TCP/IP settings and make sure everthing is being obtained automatically.
