Wireless frustration
Discussion
Now i have done a search but didnt find exactly what i'm looking for so...
At home we have a base pc with router and orange livebox internet
To this we have 2 other desktops connected wirelessly
I now want to add a Powerbook G4 to the network using the airport with the mac
When i try to connect to the network on the mac with the password (network is password protected) i get the message
'The selected network uses an aceess control list to restrict access, this computer is not on the list, see administrator'
Im guessing i need to change the settings on the Livebox for it to accept another computer to the network? I cant however find the settings for this
Anyone help on the situation please?
Thanks

Not seen the Orange boxes interface but look around the security settings for "MAC address filtering". I'd wager that is what you're after. Enter the MAC for the Airport card in to the appropriate boxes, hit ok/apply. Then it should work, although you might need to reboot the Orange box first (power off, wait 10s, power on).
