Sorry I've overlooked the obvious. I can replicate this here. I
reconfigured my network last week to put in a new linksys WRTG.

While I was doing it I changed my DHCP from the previous pool of
192.168.10.150-200 to 192.168.10.100-150

In my case, going to Zone Alarm and changing the subnet for the
'trusted zone' to 100-150 made the error message go away and
connection password was requested - it worked fine then.

So, could it be a firewall issue ?
Cheers - Neil
