WPA connection problems

Please please help! I have set up a WPA network that requires a password. I was able to access the wireless connection from one computer. My other computer is getting the below message. Can anyone tell me what the message means?

On the computer I have XP Professional SP1 I entered the network key and did not select "Enabled IEE 802 1.x authentication for this network" I received the following message:

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

Thanks Rich
