It seems that I get wireless connection for 30 seconds.
After that the wireless connection says : Limited or no connectivity.

In the Connection Status of the :"Limited or no connectivity", it says:
-"You might not be able to access the internet or some network resources. This problem occurred because the network did not assign a network address to the computer.
What to do ?
I almost sure that I did configure the network address !

You are not getting an IP address from the router or AP you are connecting to. You only get the connection for 30 seconds because it is trying to connect to the router in that time, it's not actually connected yet. You can verify this by doing:
1) go to start menu
2) select Run...
3) type cmd
4) at the dos prompt, type ipconfig
5) note the IP address it says.

Most if it starts with 169.xxx.xxx.xxx, that means it didn't connect correctly.

Do you know the name of the access point or router you are trying to connect to? Make sure your security settings are correct.

If you plug in with an ethernet cable, can you connect online?

you can run ipconfig straight from the run box on the start menu with XP. Also run: ipconfig /all will display all adapters and ip values, etc.
