Hi guys this is probably a tricky one so bare with me.
My livebox has more then twice now suddenly restarted itself and once restarted was not in pairing mode.
And then by pressing the number 1 botton for 2 to 3 sec the wireless light started flash rapidly for a long while but nothing changed in the wireless config. Hence via wireless I go the so lovely message "The selected network uses an Access Control List to restrict access and this computer is not on the list."
To make things even more intriguing. Before last night when it happened again I had restarted my livebox from scratch (powering it off holding the 1 botton and powering it back while still holding 1 bla bla bla). Had reconfiguredt it etc...
Notes: these are the things that I did change in the livebox:
DMZ is enabled
some Portforward was set up
Now my question is, is there anyway to access this list and just preventing this whole security problem especially since there is a Wap security setup?
2 do I need to change my livebox?
Thanking you so much in advance for taking the time to read this.

PROBLEM SOLVED
Basically I dont really know why but there is an option in config/option/wireless, called "WIFI easypairing" if you dissable that it prety much solves the problem straigh away.
This is for UK liveboxes If there is a problem again ill let you know.
PS if you like electro house go and check out my website
The livebox restarting and not going into pairing mode is a change the latest firmware update made.
Holding the 1 button puts it into easy pairing mode, it's pretty much useless though as apart from enabling it in the firmware it's not being used on the current livebox.
The access control list is a MAC address filtering system where you press the 1 button (once so the light flashes slowly) and then connect entering the key as needed. Once connected your device's MAC address is automatically added for future connections.
