Hi George, thanks for all the info, very useful, my livebox is a sagem model not an avantel but apparently, they are very similar. I have called support at Wanadoo because I get disconnected frequently and my pc locks up when it happens. They say it happens because the cables connecting my pc to the livebox is usb and the cable linking the livebox to the phone socket is probably not shielded and distorts or loses signal. I live quite near the telephone exchange so, the problem can't be linked to that. That's why I want to change the connection. So, the cable linking the livebox to the pc and the cable linking the livebox to the phone socket is exactly the same, is this right? or am I still missing the point somewhere? If so, I shall order two cables of different lengths as required from Belkin but I've got to be sure that's the right thing to do. Waiting for your reply or anyone else in the know for that matter. Thanks in advance to all.

Cheers now,

Hi Marie,

The port you are connecting with is described as an
"Ethernet RJ45 10/100-BaseT"

You want a perfectly standard RJ45 straight through network
cable, of whatever length you need.  They are used in
networks world-wide, so you should have no difficulty in
finding suppliers.  Any local computer store should have
them off the shelf.

A major supplier is Belkin, who also have a French web site
http://www.belkin.fr.  Look under Accessoires de bureau,
then
Câbles.  After that, look for Networking (in French of
course).

One example of a metre long cable is as follows, but they do
other lengths as required.

Câble de raccordement RJ45 de CAT 5e, 1 m, gris, sans
accroc, moulé

Référence : A3L791b01M-S

Le câble de raccordement RJ45 moulé de Cat 5e est parfait
pour les réseaux 10/100 Base-T. Assorti de connecteurs RJ45
mâle/mâle et d un serre-câble moulé sans accroc

BTW, the Wanadoo modem is in reality an "Inventel DV4210".
Inventel are a French company, (no surprise there)
http://www.inventel.com/

Inventel
35 rue Tournefort
75005 Paris
France

George.

Sorry to one and all but now I'm totally confused.
What I need is a cable, not a plug, thought the cable
connecting my phone line to the livebox, modem router was
called an rj 45.
I need the cable to connect the ethernet card inside my pc
to the modem router.
Would rather buy it online but to do this, of course, must
be sure of its type and name.

Most grateful for any help.

Cheers now,

Marie

Hi,
The DSL goes through the RJ11 socket, the RJ45 plug is

what you need for

the Ethernet to your computer. If these are the same Live

Boxes that

Wanadoo have in the UK, the USB port emulates another

Ethernet card in

the system processor, which yes will slow things down.

Andrew.

ah, as usual, I didn't use the proper terms I expect, I

use the livebox

of
Wanadoo and I suppose it should be called a modem router,

at the moment,

it's plugged to a phone socket with a rj45 and a usb cable

to my pc, I

want
to use the eternet card on my pc because I'm told the

connection will be

more reliable and faster.
Thanks for your help as always, Andrew,
Cheers now,

Hi,
Actually it is an RJ45 ethernet connector

(straight-through, not

crossover).
If you have cable then you may have an RJ45 connector

connecting the

router to the cable modem.

Andrew.

At the moment my pc is connected to the router via usb.
I would like to modify this to a ethernet connection.
The cable is not provided with the router and I cannot be

sure wich

type

of
cable to buy.
I know it's an rj something but is it 11 or 12?
All I've been able to ascertain is that it is not an rj45

because

that's

the
cable that joins the router to the phone plug.
I bet loads of you know the answer to this elementary

question and I'm

sure
that after the frustrating fruitless searches I've done

this morning I

will
remember it forever.
So please put me out of my misery!...
Cheers now,
Marie
