XP sp2
Belkin Usb adaptor
Router (Thompson speedtouch 576)
I am using the router to setup security and have enable WPA (TIK) settings and inputted into on to the laptop using the software that come with the belkin. Everything worked fine until exactly 1 week later it could not connect but when i disable the security it works.
Does it change the key after a week or is there a setting which i am missing.
any help much appreciated.

Ensure that you are using WPA with Pre Shared Key (PSK). WPA does change the encryption periodically, I guess if you have not set this up on the laptop it could lose the connection. Not sure if that is the problem but definitely worth checking. Open your Belkin utility and ensure it is configured for WPA-PSK. TKIP should also be there somewhere but it sounds like you did that already.
