Orange livebox connection problem

has anyone managed to connect their i-phone to their orange livebox? Orange tech support in India is hopeless...and Apple support in the UK is equally useless. I cant believe that these two massive players in the global communications industry cannot deal with a problem like this.

What kinds of problems are you having?
Did you search the Orange Livebox website? Since the iPhone settings are somewhat similar to what a macintosh would use, I found this on their website.

You can probably skip down to the actual settings area where it shows you how to get your WEP key, etc.

N95 WLAN Connection problems - Orange Livebox (UK)

I am trying to get the N95 to connect to the internet wirelessly through Orange Livebox (UK). I have run the WLAN wizard and the phone has identified it. I have input the WEP key and thats worked fine.......except everytime I try to connect to the net via this method I get a connection error. Has anybody else had WLAN connection problems? Can anybody help?

hi,
did you press "1" button at the back of the Livebox before pairing ?
what kind of error message do you get on the N95 ?
does it fail the same way when you go through the homescreen "WiFi scanning / Start Web Browsing" or through Tools / WLAN Wizard ?
Cheers,

Portege M400 - WLan issues connecting Orange Livebox

Hi
My landlord recently upgraded our WLan by introducing an Orange Livebox. I have tried everything possible to connect wirelessly to the router but to no avail.
All the other machines have connected with no/little issue/s. I have installed Configfree again, tried connecting through the Windows system as per instruction by Orange website, re-typed the WEP code several times. Tweaked the network connections, Installed the new Intel drivers and installed the Orange Livebox software. I'm running out of options very fast.
The wireless connection is found, it tries to connect but will not give me a network address, even with the lights flashing (as per Orange instructions), yet when connected through an Ethernet cable there is no problems what so ever.
I have had a look through the forum and found nothing that exactly matches my problem and tried to implement those suggestions that sound familiar but nothing has worked. Failing any advise, I will just have to phone either Toshiba, or Orange up for advice, however, I would like to be spared long conversations with people in Technical support.
I have a Portege M400 with an Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG built in adapter.
Any suggestions anyone?
Many thanks
David

Hi
In such cases its not easy to say why it happens.
One of my notebooks is not able to connect the WLan router because the router supports Wlan 802.11 BG mode and my Wlan card support A and B mode.
But you should firstly check if the Windows firewall was disabled. Then disable the encryption on the router and try to connect the notebook without the encryption.
Sometimes the MAC address filtering was set on the WLan routers. In such cases only the registered WLan cards can connect to the WLan router.
I would recommend disabling all filters, encryptions and then trying to connect to the wireless LAN. If you will be able to connect the router then you could enable the encryption again.

New iPad won't connect to Orange Liveboxs router...

New iPad 16gig wifi won't connect to Orange Livebox router...
I can see the router available as a choice in a list of wireless routers(presumably the neighbours' as well), I can select it, it changes from Gray to Black but then removes itself from the window...
I DO get a message about the 'base station', does this indicate a router issue?
I have a G5PPC imac working and a G4 powerbook and an iPhone all on this wireless connection - I can switch iPhone wifi on and off and the Livebox is readily found...
I also have access to a 10.6 macbook and it's network choice behaves in this fashion also - ethernet OK but no wireless....

I had the same problem. Unfortunately it seems that the Orange Live Box, which was previously the Wanadoo Live Box, is not compatible with a Mac. You can confirm this in the instructions for the Live Box. Completely rubbish and hopefully after mass buying of Apple products will convince Orange to upgrade their technology.
The solution that I use is to use a second router plugged in to the Live Box and connect to that instead. I can recommend the FONERA SIMPL from http://www.fon.com/en/product. I've now bought 2 as my parents also use the Orange Live Box at their house.
Hope that helps.

Connecting itouch to Orange Livebox

Hi guys,
wondered if anyone else has experienced problems connecting your itouch to an Orange Livebox ? Tried contacting Orange, but useless support so wondered if anyone had expeirenced problems themselves ? My itouch locates the Livebox with no trouble, but when i input the password, (the secrutiy number in this case) the process fails.....
Any help gratefully recevied!!
Thanks in advance.

Hello, you need to pair the devices first, so you need to hold and press down the number 1 key on the back of the livebox for 10 seconds, you then have 10 mins to enter the WEP or WAP code into your ipod touch. Also ensure that you are entering all the letters in capitals as each time you press a letter on the ipod touch it reverts back to lower case so you have to everytime press the upwards arrow key to put it into capitals. Also remember that ther are no letter o's in the WEP or WAP, it is all 0's.
Hope this helps you.

Suddenly unable to connect to Orange Livebox after over a year of use

I have been able to successfully connect to my Orange Livebox since getting my Ipod touch over a year ago but suddenly can't any longer. My livebox shows the Ipod as paired & Wifi enabled & my Ipod can see my Livebox but just wont connect. It says unable to join Livebox. It asks for the password which I enter (I never had to do that before it started playing up) but it still wont let me in.
I've treid to reset back to factory settings & reset network. It won't let me "forget this network" & try to pair again.
Any ideas most welcome please as I'm getting very frustrated.
Thank you.

"E_ADEPT_IO ActivationServiceInfo...", means that ADE could not contact the Adobe activation server (adeactivate.adobe.com). If you network is setup correctly and you can get to the server in the browser, then the next most likely problem is a firewall (McAffee, LittleSnitch, etc...) prevent ADE from getting outside network access.

Wi-Fi to Orange Livebox Problem

Can anyone help me connect my ipt to my Orange livebox?? My ipod finds the livebox but i put the wep key in and it just says unable to connect!! I've put the code in numerous times and made sure the livebox is available for new connections but can't seem to conquer it!!
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Ryan

Hi. Switch on the Wi-fi connection on the Ipod touch, and wait until it finds your network. Type in your WEP kep (make sure you have 'caps on' at the appropriate letters), but DON'T connect just yet. At the back of the Livebox are 2 buttons numbered one and two. Press button one (called the pairing button), and the 'pairing light' on the Livebox should begin to flash slowly. When it does, tap 'connect' on your Ipod Touch and wait. That should allow you to connect to the Livebox anytime, and you shouldn't have to do the pairing again. Next time you switch on the Wifi on the Touch, it will automatically connect to your Livebox and you can surf the web.
Lastly, make sure you have the latest software on the Ipod Touch, Version 1.1.1.
Hope that helps.

Playing AirTunes from Mac via wifi (Orange Livebox) to Airport Express

I connect to the internet and serve a wifi network via an Orange Livebox (ADSL router + wifi) in my study. I've just bought an Airport Express with the aim of using AirTunes to stream music from my Mac to the lounge. I've also got a MacBook and ageing iBook and so use WEP instead of WPA.
Now I've managed to configure the AE to join the Livebox's network (remembering to prefix my 128-bit WEP key with a $ - took me ages to find that info) and have held the "1" button down to put it in pairing mode, but it won't give it an IP address via DHCP. I've tried configuring a static IP (10.1.1.50) using the Airport Utility which should fit in the IP range of the Livebox's LAN but although this gives me a green light, I can't ping it from my Mac.
I don't want to have to buy an Airport Extreme just to play my tunes in the lounge! Has anyone tried all this with a Livebox or similar third party wifi router?
Thanks, Barry

Hi Bob - thanks for your reply!
I guess I need to try and find out what my bottleneck is. It could be:
(1) My laptop connecting to my network wirelessly
(2) My Airport Express connecting to my network wirelsssly
(3) Both
Just thinking out loud here: your suggestion sounds like it would address (2) - if that's sufficient then my problem is solved. However, I do know that if I connect my media drive to the MBP via USB, but still have wireless connections for the MBP and Airport Express, I can get decent streaming performance. So perhaps I should try temporarily connecting the Airport Express and TC with a really long Ethernet cable to see if that is good enough when the laptop is still connected wirelessly, in which case I could then go the Ethernet powerline route.
Thanks! I guess I have a little project to keep me busy for the long weekend!
Cheers,
Justin

Orange Livebox & iMac 24" & Mac mini network, slow transfer using appletalk

Hi everone
I have my 2 computers (imac 24" C2Duo and Mac mini) connecting wirelessly to my Orange Livebox wireless router to access the internet.
I want though to set up an local network to access filesharing over both of the computers. I found a tutorial and managed to turn on Appletalk and filesharing in system prefs.
The problem is that when i transfer files it takes ages to copy them over, i have full signal on both computers, and they connect really fast to the internet.
I used to have it set up on another wireless router (netgear) and it was much faster than that,
Has anyone got a similar problem? or possible solution?
many thanks in advance!

looking through i was wondering if i bought a new aiport express base station and connected it to the livebox would it be better?
the mac mini is core duo so doesn't support n speed but my imac would would they both work? any advice would be appreciated!

Airport Express with Orange LiveBox and Wireless Music

I just purchased an Airport Express with the intention of using it for streaming music wirelessly to play through my AV receiver.
I managed to get this working without any problems.
However I use an orange Livebox (wireless modem) for my Internet connection.
Is it possible to use Airport for both as when I set up the Airpor Express it started its own network thus if I wanted to use it I had to switch from my Internet connection.
My Livebox and AV Receiver are in different rooms if that makes any difference.
Cheers

Configure your AirPort Express (AX) following the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

IChat screen sharing through Orange livebox (UK)

I am able to establish video connection through iChat with my father in the UK, but cannot establish screen sharing. After spending time on the phone with Apple support here in Canada, Apple in the UK, and my father's ISP Orange, it appears that the problem is with the Orange "livebox." Orange are telling us that they don't support the feature.
Has anyone else been able to find a workaround so that they can establish screen sharing through a livebox?
Thanks for your help.

Livebox devices tend to be actually made by Sagem
See this list http://portforward.com/routers.htm
IS the model you have listed ?
It may help if the ports are opened by UPnP as Screen Sharing tends to use more random ports that basic Video/Audio chats.

Orange Livebox C9C8 won't accept my password.

I see a lot of people having the same problem as me. Just got a new ipad 2 and I cannot connect to the internet, my Orange Livebox won't accept my password, I know I have the correct one, but as soon as I type in the first letter the option to join button on the keypad fades out. If I don't get this sorted by the weekend I'm taking it back and asking for a refund as it's no good to me as it is
Hasten to add, I'm a 63 year old Silver Surfer and not all that technical, but I've hooked up other wireless equipment in my home and never had this problem before, not even been asked for a password, a wep key yes, and I have that to hand as well.

How come I don't get a reply yet every other question on this page has one? No worries, it's going back to the store at the weekend, I've not paid £579 for it to sit collecting dust.

Orange Livebox again!!

Arghhhhhh ive tried all day to try and connect to my orange livebox with the i touch! With absolutely no joy! Tried changing settings on inventel, and tried using the number 1 button on the livebox. Just keeps coming up with the message unable to join the network. It is getting no information ie IP address from the livebox. and ive even tried selecting other networks and typing it in manually! can any one help with this? I have the new software for the i touch 1.1.2 do you think this is the problem?

When I set-up my Orange Livebox for the first time at the weekend, I managed to pair both devices after pressing the number 1 button (initially I had trouble joining the network - for some reason it hasn't worked in your case).
Earlier this evening, I upgraded the iPod's software to version 1.1.2 (3B48b) via iTunes v7.5.0.20. I have since purchased music wirelessly from the iTunes store on the iPod Touch without a problem.
I haven't changed any settings on the Inventel configuration pages - they are the factory defaults. I upgraded the Livebox's firmware yesterday evening and it's currently INVENTEL version : v5.08.3-uk.
In +Security > Associated devices+ it lists my PC (Device Name: Sony Vaio) and the iPod Touch (Device Name *) together with their associated device addresses.
In +Security > Firewall+ this is set to Medium (default).
If there's any other settings you want me to look at, let me know.

Where will I get my password for Orange livebox to allow iphone wifi

Where can I find out the password for my orange livebox which I use at home to allow my iphone to pair up and use wifi when I am at home.
I have tried the 26 digit number on the bottom of the livebox but the iphone password box wont accept 26 digits
Can anyone please advise? Many thanks.

I have the orange live box and iPhone did accept all 26 digits of the password. What you might find it easier though, is to type the password into Notes first of all, then copy it, and paste it into the password section. You'll have to press and hold the left-hand button on the back of the livewire box before it can connect.
Let us know how you get on.
