Hi there

I want to connect to my universities wireless network.

The requirements the want are;

Root Certificate installed (I've already installed)

a client device that supports the wireless authentication mechanism, 802.1x/PEAP. (This bit is which I am not sure that the Exec has)



----------------------------------------------------------

Part of the configuation instructions provided by the university

Network name (SSID) = ****-student
Network Authentication = WPA
Data encryption = TKIP


If you do not see an option for WPA then the
software for your network card might need
updating. Please consult the manufacturers
documentation on how to do this.


---------------------------------------------


Is there a way that I can get a patch or something or is it still possible to access my universities wireless network? :) :confused:



I've got a o2 XDA Exec


Many thanks for your help guys :) ;)

In my previous university, the MAC of the WiFi network needs to be registered before you can use it, even you have all the username or password. First I didn't notice this because other friends got their notebook connected without registering their WiFi cards. And only later, I notice that since they bought their notebook via the university, the MAC is already registered. Double check with your uni IT guys.

Also, check if they have WiFi B support. You may need to check if your phone is capable of using G. There are solution for *some phone to enable G, search.

OK it seems to connect but I need to install my university root certificate on my universal.

How do I do that?

Thanks
