Ive just been round to the g/fs, as her mum ordered Orange BB for some reason.

Anyway, I installed the software for the USB dongle (Netgear W111GT I think), then pluged it in..........all good.

I followed the installation for the Orange LiveBox, and it all went fine TBH, which I was quite suprised about. The net worked fine, and there was a good enough signal from the dongle (60-70%).

But, when I rebooted, it wouldnt connect. In the system tray, there is the Windows wireless network connection icon, and the netgear one, they both flash and turn green as if they have connected for about 1second, then go back red with the cross. It keeps doing this. I cant connect with the windows connection with the netgear disabled etc.

The only way I can reconnect back to the internet is put the Orange Live Box CD back in, and install it again, and all works fine. But when it is rebooted the same thing happens.

Any ideas whats maybe wrong?? Ive tried turning off all anti-virus and firewall.

Cheers

I will have to give it a go on friday when im going back round. Which file do you think is getting overwritten?

Cheers for that Beaker, will give that a try!!

Not sure where any of the settings are on that box, as when I was setting it up, you dont go in to it as such, just run the CD.

All sorted now!! Thanks a lot Beaker, that was the solution.

Yep Netgear USB dongles are a Pain, and so are the Orange Liveboxs there utter crap and when i got my Orange broadband upgraded they sent me the free Livebox and i just shoved it in my wardrobe. I just use my Netgear DG834G Router all the way!

LiAM

Seems to work ok for what she does TBH. Plus, she wouldnt get the free phone calls would she liam if she didnt have the livebox, as you plug the phone in to it.
