Computer refuses my key...

When attempting to connect another computer to the home network, I saw that the computer detected my home network, and I put in the passkey.

When I entered it, a box pops up, saying:

"The network password needs to be 40 bits or 104 bits depending on your network configuration. This can be entered as 5 or 13 ascii characters or 10 or 26 hexademical characters."

I'm afraid I haven't the slightest idea what that means - other computers in the house have connected to the network with the same passkey just fine. What's the matter here?

You're using WEP?

No - when I access the security page on the router, it reads 'WPA/WPA2-Personal(PSK)'.

EDIT: That reminds me - sister got a new MacBook Pro, but she's not able to access the internet on it, even though I put in the key and the laptop actually says it's connected to the network and everything. Related problem, perhaps?
