Just to eliminate the passkey issue, try changing it to something really simple like "123456" as an example see if it works then move on from there. Make sure that the security mode is not Enterprise it should only be PSK or TKIP modes.
Update all Wireless card drivers for your system.
Are you using the windows S/W (WZC service) to control the wireless card or vendor S/W?
Can you connect using an Ethernet cable?
What is the second icon (the one that says “authenticating”)?
Are you using DHCP? Do you get an IP address during the 3 minutes? If not check your IP “pool size” this is the amount of IP address’ available to use.
Are the playstation’s cabled or wireless? Try leaving them switched off, then connect with laptop.
You said in your original post that “Whilst we are connected we can use the shared internet connection.” What do you mean by shared internet connection? Do you have ICS enabled?
Sorry more questions than answers at the moment but stick with it. It’s the authentication that seems a little odd here as WPA/WPA2 TKIP or PSK don’t need it. It’s only enterprise mode that would really require proper authentication.
