Because you have WEP enabled. It is asking you verify your permissions to log on to the network.

WEP can be cracked, use WPA instead. Also change the SSID and turn off the SSID broadcasting. Limit the number of IP address available through the router to the number of computers in the home so that there is no available IP address for somebody can hook on to your network. These create a few redundant layers of protection.

Once you set the WEP it restricts all computers not using the "key" from logging onto the router. That's why you set up WEP for security.
