Problem with net key entry...error message

Whenever I try connecting to a wireless network, I get 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."

This is the 1st time I see such a message, and I can't connect period.

Help!

Hi
If the Wireless Network is Secured (and it seems that the one that you are
trying to connect to is) you need the encryption password.

I should probably mention...I was able to connect to the network before, this
only just started recently. And I get that message whenever I input the
network key. As soon as click Connect, I get the said error message.

Thoughts?
