I have lost wireless connection between my live box and lap top. I'm on windows xp can anyone tell me how to reconnect?

Cheers Adey

Wireless network connection status has the live box as the network, speed 54.0Mbps, very strong signal, status acquiring ip address.

    havent you goto press a sync button on the live box to pair them up?
    reboot lappy and when you try to connect to the live box press the sync button on the live box at the same time, you should be ok then

    Before you try to fix what may not be broken, try turning both off, then back on one at a time - livebox first. It may be that something has just got locked up, happens a lot.

    He has tried both of those. Getting him to disconect the wireless network, press 1 on livebox to go into pairing mode then connect to livebox, retyping the code.
