Please Help:Belkin Pre-N Router and Atheros AR5001xT

Hi All,
I can't seem to find a fix for this issue anywhere. Any help would be
appreciated.

I have a home network set up and multiple computers can connect to my
internet connection wirelessly via my Belkin Pre-N Router
(Part# F5D8230tt4). One computer however will not connect lets call is
machine X. It's running XPpro SP2, with an Atheros AR5001xT wireless
card and is able to connect to other wireless networks.

Two odd things are happening, first machine X is able to see the my
wireless network. When I try to connect using the windows client
nothing happens, it appears as though it doesn't even attempt to obtain
an IP address from the router. Second (and perhaps unrelated), when I
set the password for the router into windows client in machine X it
accepts it however, if I view the password again it appears clearly
shortened. Something is going on there but I don't know what or if it
is associated with my more general on non-connectivity.

Any help is Appreciated

My gues is that the card is an 802.11a card.

Upgrade all products to latest firmware. Then:
Temporarily disable encryption and see if it then connects.
