mcdevito75 here, I a;lso have the Belkin wireless, try shutting down your computer and re start. Or, before you put in your pin, remove the router wire from the back (USB port) of your computer for 15 seconds and try again.

you are trying to connect to the wireless network on a laptop.
When you try to connect to the wireless network , it is askign for a PIN number.
If it is Windows VISTA or 7 Operating system, then on the same window at the bottom you will find the option. " I don't have PIN and I want to enter the key manually " OR " I don't want to configure the network, I want to connect "
Click on this option then it will ask you for the security key or passphrase if your network is secured.
If you don't know the key then you will need to check the wireless settings of the router.
