Livebox / Apple (wireless)


[link to this post]
 
OK - my setup is as follows :
Windows XP desktop machine connected via ethernet to Livebox - so far, so good (despite the Orange installation CD not working). Windows box can access the web fine.
I'm trying to connect an Apple laptop wirelessly to the Livebox - the Apple can "see" the Livebox, I've done all the bits about WEP code, but Apple gives error message "The selected network uses an Access Control List to restrict access and this computer is not on the list. See the Administrator for access.".

What do I need to change where ????

PS I had a similar setup working perfectly with a Netgear router recently - all I had to do was tell the Apple the router's WEP code.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I've been through all that...

Any other ideas anyone ?

You made sure you put the livebox into pairing mode by pressing the number 1 button on the back of the box,

I use my livebox with a mac book and it works fine using WPA security.

Yeah its probibly just not in pairing mode, if your still having problems. Orange tech support can now pass you to a Mac line to get it set up.
