If both PC's are in the same room, you can simply cable them to the router as shown in the Livebox instructions. You won't then need this Inventel box.

Thanks, they are in the same room. What cable do I need, when you say cable them. Also, what is the router? Is this the Livebox. Sorry to be vague. I am a plug in and turn on man!

it's probably a Bluetooth adapter, is this an old Livebox? I think the bluetooth adapter should plug into the USB port of the PC.

You will need another Ethernet cable, similar to the one supplied with it, long enough to connect the extra PC to the Livebox.

Livebox is the name that Orange have given to the wireless router that they supply. You can't get much easier that plugging in an Ethernet cable!

Thanks all. Will have a go at doing the Livebox thing when I get the other/longer cable. Be back soon !!!

The little inventel thing is a wireless adapter, which attaches via usb. You could use one lan cable and that on the other PC if you don't have 2 ethernet cables handy.

Ok, I have checked and the old PC does not have the hole (sorry) for the cable to go into. Should I connect the cable to the livebox and new pc, then the inventel to the old PC?
