DLink 615 wireless and XP connection

Hi,
We are trying to connect a compaq centoris laptop running Windows XP to our wireless internet connection. We are using a DLink DIR-615 wireless router.
The laptop does not connect to either the home network, or the internet, though it does recognise the network in the "Wireless Network Connection" page. We cannot connect from this page even after entering the network key.
We have two laptops running Vista that connect to the network with no problems.
Is this a problem with XP computers and the Dlink?
