Wireless broadband

Hi guys.
I signed up for the Orange Broadband offer (mobile phone plus free broadband and wireless modem).

The modem turned up today and i've been trying to get it working. Connected to my lap top by an ethernet cable it works fine but i can't get it to work with the wireless thing. I've got a pcmcia wirelss card plugged in. Clicking on the icon by the clock brings up the wirelsss network box which tells me that i am connected to the Livebox (which is the Orange modem) but top right where i'm told it should say connected or disconnected it just says "validating identity" and the orange wireless set up routine say it cannot connect.

I'm an internet numpty so can someone help?

I'm running windows XP Home by the way.
