connect multiple PCs to the Livebox Solved

Question

Hello everyone.   I would need your valuable advice for setting up two PCs on the Livebox.  Here is my problem:  I installed one PC on the Livebox using a WiFi USB key: perfect, everything works well!!  I wanted to install my laptop as well through my Ethernet card. At first, I could only access Google, and no other site was reachable. I then checked the network connections in Windows XP and created a bridge between the two icons present in the "network connection" window. Since then, I can access all sites (I don't understand why), however, the speed of loading internet windows is very slow even though I have an 8-mega subscription (actually 6 in my area).  I would be very grateful if you could help me understand why the windows are loading so slowly!!  Thanks again for your future responses and thanks to everyone who works on creating this great site.   silencio

Ghost · Answer

Is the live box a router?  If not, only one PC can be connected.  Additionally, what is the IP number of each PC?  Ghost

Ghost · Answer

It's a public address, put a small router and it will be fine .. you only receive one IP address from Wanadoo so if you don't have a network address it means ONE PC not two Ghost

vORTEX · Answer

I can't believe that people reading this forum can let ghost say such nonsense. Anyway, the Livebox is indeed a router, which allows you to connect multiple PCs via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or USB. The slow speed issue you're experiencing comes from the fact that you've assigned similar IP addresses. There is a different IP address for Ethernet than there is for Wi-Fi; you need to change the last number, but I can't tell you which one to use.

Tao · Answer

I recently acquired the live box, and here's how I configured it: It's important to know that the live box is a router, so it has several interfaces: an RJ11 interface to connect to the PSTN, a WiFi interface, a USB interface, and an Ethernet interface. Each interface has a fixed private IP address, for example: Int ethernet: 192.168.5.1 Int usb: 192.168.2.1 Int wifi: 192.168.3.1 The RJ11 interface will have a dynamic public IP address assigned by your service provider (we won't touch that). You will notice that these IP addresses are of the form 192.168.x.1; they differ by the number x, which means that the network on each interface is different. Now, when you want to connect multiple computers to your live box, you must pay attention to which interface you connect your PC to, and thus the choice of your PC’s IP address will depend on the interface. A little practical example: You want to connect one PC to the Ethernet interface and one PC via WiFi. Let's assume the Ethernet interface has the IP address Int ethernet: 192.168.5.1. The PC connected to the Ethernet interface must have an IP address in the same network as the interface it is connected to, which is 192.168.5.x (x = you can choose any value between 1 and 254 except 0 or 255 (0 to identify the network and 255 for broadcasting). Note that this x must differ between machines on the same network, meaning those connected to the same interface.) The gateway corresponds to the IP address of the interface, which is 192.168.5.1, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. For the PC on the WiFi interface, you just have to do the same, but the WiFi interface has a different IP address, for example 192.168.4.1. For the DNS server IP address, you should enter the IP address of the interface your PC is connected to (if I'm not mistaken, I don't remember lol). To modify these settings: Start>Control Panel>Network Connections>Local Area Connection>Properties>TCP/IP Protocol>Properties, and there you check the box to use the following IP address and fill in all the parameters as in the example above, likewise for DNS. There shouldn't be any issues, normally. So, it may not be very clear, but feel free to ask me, and if there are any mistakes in what I said, it would be great if you could correct me lol.  For my part, I connected 2 PCs to the live box ... one on the USB interface and the other on the Ethernet. I put both machines in the same workgroup, but they can't see each other in the group .. I created routes between these two machines via the router using the DOS command route -p add ... but that didn't work. What can I do? Does the live box block identification ports of machines on the network? Thanks.

Tao · Answer

Yes, this echoes what I was saying, but my explanation was to configure PCs with a fixed address because by default, the Livebox provides IP addresses dynamically; it has a DHCP service. Moreover, all the networks I described are already on the Livebox since it has different interfaces, so we can use all these interfaces without risk; if they are there, then the routing system can handle them. However, this does not solve the problem that my PCs do not see each other in the workgroup... this does not come from the physical layers since I can ping properly and I share files via a share (connecting a network drive to a share on the remote PC). I think the problem comes from the higher software layers, so from Windows... could it be a local security policy management issue (gpedit.msc)?

Jels · Answer

Hi everyone, I just got a Livebox and I have a little problem: I connected my PC with the USB Wi-Fi adapter and there is no problem, I can access the internet However, I wanted to set up the connection on my laptop equipped with a Wi-Fi card: I stupidly followed the manual: I installed the Wanadoo software, I connected the USB adapter, I accessed the internet with it.... then I put this USB connector back on my first PC and tried to access the internet via Wi-Fi with the laptop and there, problem: the Wi-Fi network is detected and I am connected but when I launch the browser, I end up on an error page: "unable to connect" etc... I tried multiple solutions (IP, etc...) but I can't access the internet!

trocon · Answer

Hello, I have a question to ask you.........
So, my neighbor came to my house 2 months ago asking if, by any chance, he was receiving the signal from my router with a "maxi" signal
It's not hard to guess, I live in the apartment above him..........
He asked me if I could give him my livebox number, pretending it was just for his girlfriend (to talk with her friends on "MSN") and possibly do a bit of internet....
Now it's been 2 months since my light has been blinking like never before because since day one; and continuously; he is downloading more and more.......
From time to time I switch off the antenna, but every time; 48 hours max; he rings the bell, asking what’s going on because he no longer has "his FREE connection"
He claims that we should help each other!!!!!
But it amuses me a bit when I see the direction of "the service rendered."
I just realized that by typing "orange," he also has access to my messaging...sms....etc.........
I checked, no operation has been done!!!
But in the meantime, he set up a system allowing him to receive TV channels, and I also saw on his PC a logo: phone... I can't really remember the name.......
A bit embarrassed (still), he explained to me that he tried to get phone service via the internet, but that it wouldn’t cost me anything!!
---So, for a small favor asked; he has TV, downloads only movies stolen from cinemas and just released..... tries to make calls and everything I don't know!!!!
Not being connected to any personal subscription... I can imagine the freedom he allows himself.... (whatever he does... nothing is in his name)
On top of that, I hardly download...... I've always been a bit afraid of having problems!!!!!!!
So, my question is: "Does his connection consume speed on my computer??????" (and to what extent??)
"What can he do with this connection that I haven’t supposed??????"
And since I’m surpassing 12 mega these days......; and I’m also waiting for the TV decoder.......
"Is his computer going to consume too much bandwidth??; which would prevent me from fully enjoying my television???
In the meantime, with my limited knowledge, I tampered with my livebox; so that he is at a low speed.......
OTHERWISE, I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE HOW MANY MOVIES HE WOULD HAVE ALREADY DOWNLOADED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is your impression please?????? and what are the possibilities he has; besides what I've already said????????
Anyway, I haven’t used the internet for 2 months; and I can't stand that light that never stops.......
and since I already hardly downloaded.... that's done for 2 months!!!!!!!! (it also seems to me that LPHANT is no longer working!!!!!)
For my case, no need to tell me that I was stupid (I know it).... but presented as he did..... Just a little MSN here....
I didn't refuse..... and now here is my situation
Greetings to all and keep your numbers well hidden

spook113 · Answer

Hello, yes but I don't understand already about your email addresses, change the code then block his IP address through your Livebox. If he sees you, your Livebox sees him. Then a service doesn't mean a due (you tell him that Wanadoo has burned it, that will calm him down) and there you go, you recover your connection. You're crazy to let it happen, you don't know what you're really risking...

stephanotep · Answer

Hello, how can Wanadoo block it when the only subscriber they know is my line!!!! And how can it have an IP address when it’s connected via Wi-Fi using my identity???? Thanks for replying...... but apparently, I don't have the level to understand your comments........ What do I actually risk (as you tell me!!!!) Thanks and see you later, best regards Stéphane

spook113 · Answer

Bonjour, wanadoo the grid, that's the excuse you give him, lol. Then yes, he connects via Wi-Fi on your line, but your live box distinguishes the computers separately. Go to http://192.168.1.1/ to access your live box and block his computer. Then imagine he's downloading; it's not trivial, and how will you defend yourself by saying you gave him your codes? It's enough for the guy to use your codes and just stay in the stairwell with a laptop, and he's connected. As for me, I wouldn't sleep, but at worst, plug yourself into Ethernet and disable the Wi-Fi ports so he can't see you anymore, but do something.

mike · Answer

Hello, in the modem configuration at http://192.168.1.1/, it is possible to secure the Wi-Fi access point in several ways; in my opinion, the best method is filtering by the MAC address or physical address specific to each computer. For those interested, simply type the command ipconfig /all in the command window and integrate it into the Livebox configuration.

Hello,
I have a problem. I have a Livebox, and our wireless network is secured. We have always been able to connect our desktop and laptop to the internet at the same time, but since we changed our plan, we can no longer connect them to the internet at the same time, or even at all with the laptop. What is the problem? Knowing that we receive the following message when we try to connect with the laptop: "the wireless network is secured." THANK YOU for your response.

Little stupid question, but how to integrate a "MAC" address into a Livebox?

Phil · Answer

You can connect Windows PC, Linux PC, MAC, etc. to your Livebox. If it's just a simple modem, I recommend connecting a router behind your modem, for example, the Linksys WRT54G.

sjacques · Answer

It is useless to connect a router to the Livebox since the latter is a modem-router
to connect several PCs via WiFi, simply press the association button located at the back of your Livebox.

Levi · Answer

I think you’re complicating things for no reason. I use the same system but not exactly as you have done.
I have a Sagem Livebox from Wanadoo, and on my Livebox, there are two USB and Ethernet ports. First, I connected my daughter's PC using the USB port, and with the Ethernet port, I connected my son’s PC, and I connected my laptop using a dongle.
So I have 2 PCs connected to the internet via a USB and Ethernet port, and my laptop via the dongle (Wi-Fi), and the speed is always the same on all three devices. There are no complications.
Try it, and you’ll see everything will go fine.

Thank you for your understanding.

Nono · Answer

Hello, I would like to get some information because I am a bit of a novice in the field of computer science...
I currently have a PC at home connected to the Livebox via a Wi-Fi key. I am going to get rid of this computer and I am buying a new laptop with Wi-Fi.
I initially thought of uninstalling my old PC and then installing the new one (but without the Wi-Fi key logically?)
Is that how I should do it?
Thanks in advance.

overflow76 · Answer

Wi-Fi key and uninstallation are unrelated.

You just need to retrieve the key from your Livebox if you haven't changed it and add it to your new laptop by following the Orange procedure (search for the Wi-Fi network, select it, enter the Wi-Fi key, and press the association button on the Livebox).

J-CHRIS · Answer

Personal little experience, I connected a PC to my Livebox via an Ethernet cable (red port of the LB), I connected a PC via WiFi, a Nintendo WII via WiFi, and 2 Nintendo DS Lite via WiFi, all simultaneously. The 2 PCs have the Orange manager installed, it's automatic and it works without any problems. For the rest, you just need to enter the WEP key (see the sticker under the LiveBox) into the device you want to connect. However, for the first connection attempt, you need to remember to put your LB in association mode (see the LB manual). And that's it!!!

There's no need to mess around like ghost did, just leave everything on automatic, and it also prevents conflicts!!

J-CHRIS · Answer

You need to connect your second computer via Ethernet to the second port of your LiveBox (the yellow one). However, if you have the TV option and a decoder connected, you need to connect it via USB. Install the Orange manager and select the type of connection during the installation.

shaolan · Answer

So here it is... to connect a PC that is already equipped with a Wi-Fi card, I advise you to do the following: detect the network of your Livebox with the equipped PC (you need to have already configured the Livebox for it to work in Wi-Fi, otherwise it won't work xD) then note the WEP code or whatever, depending on your configuration ( ! be careful, I didn't say to put it on the equipped PC! at least not yet) you press a button located at the back of your Livebox (maybe you've seen it already, right?) on the 1 (I don't know what the 2 is for). The 1 is used to synchronize with your Livebox. Then you enter the WEP code or whatever and it works... all this without installing Wanadoo on the equipped PC. But be careful!!! this manipulation only serves to connect you in Wi-Fi if you already have a PC connected to the Livebox by some means. I hope I have been clear enough, correct me if there's a problem, but the procedure to follow is this... proof! I'm writing to you with my mobile phone with which I did my manipulation... there you go, I think that's all ^^ and thank you for your explanations. In any case, Ghost, you say beautiful nonsense: I followed steps to solve my problem (which I solved by the way xD) and it just crashed my PC. Yep! Anyway, I just mixed the information. And there you go.
