I don't know why it can connect (sometimes) for a tiny little while, but then the connection dropped and then refuse to connect again.

I noticed on your other thread you were getting 'ip conflict messages', you need to follow Ben's advice on checking IP settings on your other computers.
Edit : Ben's faster than me.

Quote from: Ben If your computer is issuing an IP address conflict then you probably have static IP's assigned to devices in your house which are on the network.
That's not necessarily a bad thing. If you have a network printer it usually makes sense to give it a static IP address. The trick is to get the range of addresses assigned by your router to avoid the static IPs you have set. So if your router has IP address 192.168.x.1 then adjust the LAN/DHCP settings so the starting dynamic address is 192.168.x.20, say, leaving addresses 192.168.x.2 to 192.168.x.19 for your static IPs.
You sometimes get the IP address conflict message if computer 1 is in sleep mode, you switch on computer 2 and then wake up computer 1 again. There is nothing much you can do to avoid it in those circumstances, apart from turning your computers off rather than allowing them to sleep/hibernate.

I'm a fan of either increasing the DHCP lease time or assigning IP's via MAC so your device will get the same IP but it won't cause problems if you take that device and connect it to another network.
This is a bit technical though

I have both computers on, but this time no IP address conflict window shows.
I don't know what's happened, but at one point my Plusnet dialup account started trying to connect, so I changed this to "never dial a connection" and it stopped. Then the wireless connected straight away, but one minute later it had gone again. Then a while later it connects again for a minute, then goes again.
It can connect, but cannot sustain the connection.

Load and run it on your net-book and it will show you your router and other access points in the neighbourhood.

How do I change WPA + WPA2 to WPA? Isn't that a security setting? Isn't WPA not as good as WA2?
