Quick Q about Wanadoo/Orange Liveboxes...

Can anyone either point me to a manual, or let me know what the difference
between the Yellow and Red Ethernet sockets on the top of these things
is?

Red seems to work, Yellow Seems not to. Sometimes.

Thanks,

Gordon

Originally I assumed some sort of DMZ, but I think they have it
reserved for the Orang broadband TV service, which will likely be
intermittent at best. Seems they have already set the yellow port to
give that 'intermittent' effect already!

And that would explain why this is exactly what I've experienced. Ho
hum, another Ethernet switch required, or maybe I'll just replace the
box with something proper.

I'd get a decent box. Results seem to be varied from what I've seen of
them.
