MN-730 Security Problem

I run a Microsoft Wireless Adapter MN-730 on my Windows
XP Computer. My Network has a MN-700 Router and all
computers in the network have fixed ip addresses within
192.168.2.x and as a gateway the routers ip address
192.168.2.1 is used. the wireless security with 128bit
encryption is used. every time i start the computer the
Microsoft Broadband Network Utility says that he can't
connect to the network because of an incorrect security
key. Then i go to the Adapter settings within the Network
Utility and select Available Networks. The window shows
my Network and the Security Key. when i hit the connect
button it will connect immediatly.
I did't change anything at the settings or the key.

Why can't it connect to the network by itself?

Any answers or solutions?

Thanks. Dave.

do NOT use the BNU on Windows XP
instead, use XP's built in wireless zero configuration features

Remove any other network apart from yours from
the 'Preferred Networks' under 'Wireless networks' tab in
wireless connection properties.
