Are the other computers running a similar setup? (2200bg?) You could try update your drivers, see if that helps

The 2200BG is normally a good card, but it won't hurt to see if a new card fixes the problem.

Tried a firmware update on the Livebox? You are not the first person to report this type of problem however I have never used, nor do I have access to a Livebox to play with.
