Re: ORANGE WIRELESS & TALK PROBLEM

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem with my Orange LiveBox. I called the tech
support too and had to explain what Vista was...

After a while, the tech man came back on line and talled me that no drivers
had been developped yet but shoud be available end of February.

But, meanwhile, what can we do ?...

For information, I had an old modem Sagem Fast 800 that worked perfectly
well with Vista. It's unfortunately out of service.

If someone found a solution, I would me more than please to hear about it !...

Regards,
Stephane

Maybe a stupid question, but what has the Livebox to do with Vista?

I have a livebox and use Vista and have no problem.
Vista has nothing to do with the livebox, the livebox supplies a internet
connection Wired or wireless makes no difference.

Unless you have to dial in from the PC.
But normally the connection is on and Vista doesn't need any drivers.
You only need drivers for the wireless card in the PC.
