Could anybody help me with some advice if possible.
I purchased a netbook while I was over in the UK 3 weeks ago (I have just got back home in France)
The netbook is a HP 210 (1012 ram) Windows 7.... the computer worked fine in the UK using the search and find, I connected to the sister-in-laws wifi signal using her code......it also worked when I was parked outside a friends home using there code....both wifi signals it searched and found them when, then asked for the code to be entered and then it connected fine and each time after that it connected Automatically..........all that was fine,
Now I am back home in France it finds my orange live box when searching for a signal and it is on full green bands, but when I press connect (it does not ask for my code for my live box) and comes up with a box (connect to a network) saying...windows was unable to connect to livebox-**** number...below in the box it says trouble shoot problems....tell me more about the internet....and a cancel button........I have tried the trouble shoot but that seems to be of no use........(my laptop picks up the signal fine and that is on XP)......the only thing I have done since I have returned home was to install my orange dongle for while I am out in the motorhome...has that altered any of my settings?????:Angry::Doh:

Possibly, maybe check internet connections and change to whatever Orange thingy you are using.

More than likely find that it is trying to connect to standard wi-fi in the notebook

Peter.....thanks for the reply...not quite sure what you mean...but you may be on the right track, as have I lost it...its doing my head in to say the least .....I have been trying all day yesterday and today just going round in circles trying all different ways/ codes/ network keys/ passwords .....I was beginning to think it may be a firewall stopping me or antivirus??

Hi there, I have an O2 dongle with my netbook (also windows 7) and used it on my laptop too (Vista) when I installed it it put a programme into both computers called the O2 connection manager. It tends to take over the windows connection manager so I always connect through the O2 Manager even when using my own or someone elses wifi. No need to use the dongle though unless I am mobile (as now) give it a go! Jane

Have you done the Livebox "association"?

(little button, either underneath or side of the Livebox depending which model of the infernal contraptions you are unlucky enough to be saddled with...)

I have a Vodafone dongle and on the desktop , I have Vodafone mobile connect installed.

I have to disable windows network connection , down by the clock on my taskbar. ( the little computer pic, you right click the mouse on it and press disable) The reason being it tries to connect to my home connection by default.

Then double click the Vodafone mobile connect and and a box appears and I press connect.

Thank you Gary I will check again, but I think mine said connect/dis-connect and it was disconnected for the orange dongle .....but yes I will check again as I have done that many permutations!!!:Doh:



I have just checked and for my orange dongle Huawei says it is Disconnected......but for the one for my netbook it says not connected ??? worded diferent but meaning the same thing??
