Pierre ZFP Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Well that is the normal situation, its connected 24/7. What else could you possibly be doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS2002 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 Well, I have to click on Gestionnaire Internet, then open and then connecter - it takes a long time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 How is your PC connected to your router?wireless, USB, ethernet?If wireless, it might take a few seconds for the network to be seen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Sounds like you've installed the Orange software as well. Uninstall it, and reinstall the method of connection and when it's connected to your router, (from memory), the installer box has continuer which takes you to the softare installation. At this point cancel the procedure. If you are wirelessly connected, you should get a message at the bottom of the screen saying wireless networks in range. Click on that, click connect, enter the code at the bottom of the livebox twice when prompted and that should be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS2002 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 I am connected by a USB modem, I wasn't offered wireless though I would have preferred that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 USB is inherently slow, rip it out and use the ethernet connection insted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nige Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 IF its a Sagem, thomson or ZX it is just a USB modem and will not connect unless you ask it, if its a live box you can set it to conect as soon as you start but I would get rid of the LB and get a prpoer router like a Netgear or linksys.The above USB modems will got to 2mb connetions while the router will give up to 25mb. There is no difference between usb speed and RJ45/ethernet only that you do not have to install a driver for ethernet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham & Brenda Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I have a modem from Wanadoo (now Orange) connected by USB. It connects straight away, no problem. I am not techy enough to explain why yours doesn't but just wish to reassure you until someone can explain it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
