Thanks for the response. Those links are very useful, but only seem to
deal with setting up the Livebox with the main computer. (We have the
Inventel device shown.)
That's all working fine - I have the green wireless network manager
icon, etc.
The problem is getting my partner's new laptop to connect to my
Livebox. It recognises my Wanadoo network, identifies it as a
"security-enabled wireless network (WPA)", and seems to be struggling
to connect, and failing.
I'm guessing (from that message) that this is to do with my security
settings. I've reset the Inventel firewall configuration to "Low" (it
was medium), but that's made no difference. (I also have Norton
Firewall, but I've also disabled that - should I need to?)

I will continue to search that orange help site for something on
connecting 2nd computers, but if you have any other tips I'd be
grateful.

thanks again

Jon
