Most likely a password issue. Could be another problem but let's first eliminate the most obvious reason first.
Recovering a lost wireless password:
You can still find your wireless password on your computer by going to Keychain access on your mac. (inside the utilities folder inside the Applications folder)
Next, select Passwords on the right hand column then find the airport network entry that has your wireless network's name associated with it. Now double click on the entry and select to "show password". You'll be prompted to enter the actual computer's password but then you'll be able to see the wireless password.
By the way, be sure all your Windows XP updates are complete. That WEP password request could be a sign that you are on an older service pack. Just a thought. I have seen Windows request WEP passwords that were actually WPA passwords.
