will check if its on the livebox..ty

connect with your Lan cable


click http://192.168.1.1 (or open a browser, eg , , and enter 192.168.1.1 into the address bar)

under 'settings', click access

• enter the password admin and click sign in
• click WiFi settings in the 'Livebox' menu
• in the 'Security Key' field,

look in there and it should display your wireless key

if it still will not connect wirelessly then try dropping the security level to WEP from WPA

worse case turn security off and try to connect

You don't need to load any software as you were told in the other thread, simply log into the Livebox!

I've edited my reply to reflect that

still no joy,did as in post 4...said sucessful,took ethrnet out and was back to square one with box (wlan settings) asking for a password.

Browntoa

have you tried turning wireless security off totally, you need to save the new setting

still no joy, but many thanks for all the help.
