SUCCESS!

I have been too busy to implement the suggestions here until today, but now I have succeeded. Firstly I made my password 8 chars (it was 7 before), but I don't know if that was a problem or not, because it is not what fixed it. It started working once I used the Odyssey Client instead of the stupid Dell WLAN Utility. lol. So now it works fine.

For anyone who hasn't discovered the Odyssey Client, go to Start > Settings > Connections > Odyssey Client, enable it, and connect.

I don't recommend changing your wifi key very often rjking, because first off it's pretty darn secure so it's not like it's going to be cracked (as long as it's a good password to begin with), and as far as Windows XP goes, it can cause trouble or be an annoyance since the Windows XP wifi utilities are not very good. I've noticed if you change a WPA-PSK, instead of prompting you for the new password it'll just say "Acquiring Network Address" forever. You have to go and delete the access point from the list and let it be rediscovered. So I say just save yourself the trouble, come up with a good password, and stick to it.
