I am in france trying to connect my macbookair to a french livebox

A type of brandy made from brandwijn, white grapes grown in the Charante region of France. Here is a quote from the link below: Under a century-old French law, only distillers based in France's Cognac region have the right to call their double-distilled spirits stored for a time in oak barrels (thus, the brown hue) "cognac." Companies based elsewhere, whether within or outside France, which still publicly insist on marketing their products as cognac, are guilty of misrepresentation, and can be hailed to court.

Most routers (including this one) have a reset in the back. Hold it in till it cycles. This will clear all custom settings and set original defaults.


I came across this. It might help.http://help.orange.co.uk/orangeuk/support/personal/232435

Your best bet will be to contact your (or your cousin's) cell provider and see if they can assist. My sister-in-law is from Germany, and she had a tough time getting the her phone onto our Verizon plan. The mall kiosks were unable to help her switch the phone over, and eventually she had call to pay a special activation fee that was about twice the normal charge. You could contact Orange of France (orange.fr) however, I've only heard of phones being locked if there is an outstanding amount past due, or the phone has been reported as stolen. Any provider that supports that Ericsson model will be able to set it up, likely for an additional charge. Good luck!

hope this helps,

Welcome to FixYa.

If you are in France, then chances are, your internet service provider is not ORANGE Broadband? (http://shop.orange.co.uk/broadband/)

Wanadoo router (livebox) has locked its router for their broadband service only or at least an affiliated one.

Try to use the CD that came with it to setup the connection and you will find out while entering your username and password, you will receive and error that says what you entered is not a domain used by Wanadoo.

Livebox will not try to authenticate over PPPoA unless the user has entered a username within a Wanadoo domain.

That is why there is no way to login to it's GUI (http://192.186...).

You can try http://192.168.1.200 or http://192.168.1.1 (this one should be the correct one)

There is no contact information for France since the internet service provider of Wanadoo operates only in the UK. (http://shop.orange.co.uk/broadband/)


I hope this information will save you time in searching for answers that do not matter.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Have a great day.

Try connecting it to Nokia Software Updater and updating. By default, your location should give you a language specific update.

Cheers.

The device gets reset itself due to below points

1. The power supply is not good which fluctuates a lot
2. The memory is bad in the device

get the power supply checked first , if it doesnt help ask the manufacturer to repair the box if it is still under warrenty

Go to the manufacturers web site and get the data you require. Are you in France?

Here are a couple places to try.

Hi,
Use the following link to disable parental control
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/disable-user-account-control-uac-the-easy-way-on-windows-vista/

The second option you can try is do a system restore, ie take it back to the day it was working fine.
To do the same

Click the start button (pearl) and type system restore in start search.....

choose a restore point when you first installed the software....


Thanks

French supplied phone are unlocked. It's illegal for the devices to be locked on a French network.
I need the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number. Type this code in your phone to get it: *#06# you can also find it beneath the battery.
I also need to know the make and model of phone, the network that the phone is locked on, and the country the network is from. Then I will give you the codes.
You say you're in France using Orange!. Orange from which country?

go to xda developers.com they will help you right away. There are so many connection configurations on this phone its amazing, I love mine.
