New LiveBox

[Jonzjob]

Hi Danny, at the mo we look as if we have been invaded by mutant ninja

moles and there are 7 HUGE holes in our garden where we are trying? to

find a bleedin water leak every day for the past  5 daze, so there is a

very good chance that I missed it, which I did[8-)][8-)] We carry on tomorrow[:'(]

I have just done a revisit and will go through it. We just have Macs

now, no dirty one, just nice clean shiney ones! An iMac and a MacBook

Pro.

I have been through the sequence of System Preference, Printer, add

printer, etc and although the iMac can see the printer the MacBook

can't. The iMac recognises it as the address 192.168.1.1 but still won't

print. The Macbook just still sees it as the printer attached to the

iMac and when it is connected to the iMac it will print.

Both machines are running under wifi, no ethernet connected.

I will have a close look at the link in the morning, too knacked now! I

am just not used to doing any hard work and our clay is probably very

good for pottery, but bery heavy to shovel!

The sequence I used is this http://assistance.orange.fr/partager-une-imprimante-usb-avec-la-livebox-2-47.php

Just a bit on the original thread. This is a bit form our Livebox

window. We can only get less than 1 meg here at the mo. Does that look

true from the attenuation figures here? We are just over 5K from the

exchange.

[/quote]Yes.

The 65dB is the killer and roughly correlates to a distance of 5km [:(]

My own numbers are:

Attenuation Up 24.1 dB

Attenuation Down 43.1dB

Noise Margin Up 34dB

Noise Margin Down 12db

Max Rate Up 326 kb/s

Max Rate Down 1215 kb/s

With 43.1dB attenuation I should reliably be in 3.5-4mb territory, not stuck on a poxy 1mb (only 512kbs according to all other ISP's), and all thanks to Teleconnect (spit) [:@]

Ironically my actual attenuation has actually improved by some 6dB or so since I first got online in France !

Ernie,

as long as you have just selected

Débit maximal auquel votre ligne est éligible

and then continuer,

you can then choose valider (if I remember right) to confirm.

There is no extra charge.

The blurb you got is just standard  but does not say what I get if I recheck mine. i.e that the speed you have is already the max the line can support.

The 20M(2M) says that you are limited to a level of 2Mb at the moment.

You have nothing to lose by validating your demand and the possibility * of a small improvement.

Danny

* I am not 100% certain that you will get any change but it should stop any commercial limitation. It can take 15 days to be changed.

If you keep an eye on your synchronisation, you should be able to notice when/if it changes. I hope that you are wrong about your last sentence.[:)]

EDIT EDIT i.e this one "As I understand it though none of this will change the 1mb I currently

have and or give me the 3-4mb I am certain my line is capable of

supporting [:'(]"

John,

did you attach the printer to each computer and install the drivers on each computer before you set up the livebox printer?

The HP drivers can be a pain too.

Danny,

I appreciate your help and I know it's a pathetic cop out but it's not just a case of clicking 'valider', there are a slew of subsequent incomprehensible choices to make and I'm afraid of screwing up my connection altogether, a risk I simply cannot afford to take !

[Danny]

OK
