Le_Jars Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Anyone got this or used it? They seem very vague on their website about system requirements (I have a Mac), but it would solve a lot of problems in our house!Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem very vague on their website about system requirements (I have a Mac), but it would solve a lot of problems in our house!Dave.[/quote]I toyed with the idea of getting one of these but as I had already bought Airport Express in the UK I thought I would give it a go so that I could use my iMac away from the phone points which are curiously sited. You have to use an ethernet modem (the USB socket is for printer only) but it works pretty well for me and I now have it networked with my PC which is two storeys up from the Mac and I can share my broadband connection. The only problem I now have is that the PC refuses to share the printer which it did quite happily when I first installed it so I'm going to have to do battle with XP again. Might be an alternative for you unless you want the other things the Livebox offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le_Jars Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share Posted June 7, 2005 RonB - are you saying that you use Airport, not the Livebox? I wanted to use an Airport thingy, but, at €3 per month, the livebox seems dead cheap and I have the ethernet modem and adsl provided by wanadoo already.Patmobile - what's up?
