Have you tried pressing the 1 button and being in pairing mode when trying to connect wirelessly?

What happens when you try and pair, does the network show in wireless network connections?

Probably best to try turning off the livebox security to make sure it can connect and then move the security back up to WPA only before trying WEP only if that doesn't work.

I tried that also made sure firewall OFF the messages I am getting with no security on is
Not connected
then manual
then back to not connected.

forgot to mention I had factory reset my live box a few days ago

Thank you Elhana

Ok well without security it means either it's the livebox itself at fault, the laptop or signal problems. Have you tried going through the steps in the sticky thread for Aquiring network address? Parts of that may help with this too.
