In short: I wouldn't take the Micro$oft approach and automatically assume it's a user blunder.
Is that the MS approach? We don't use that here - OS/2 only, though we have an EE on test.

In my experience 99% of non connections to a secured network, when a connection to an unsecured network works, is because the operator does not type the key in correctly. If the key is verified correct and there is still no connection then you have to look for other causes like signal strength, antenna orientation, etc.
