Connecting to Wireless Network with domain name and proxy servers?

Hi,
I'm trying to connect to the wireless network at my college, however it's not as straight forward as usual... The network is hidden, although I know to 'Join other network' and type in the SSID of the network and then set the authentication method to WPA-Enterprise. However, this is where I run into a problem..
To connect, I need to 'configure encryption as AES', which I'm not sure how to do on OS X. Furthermore, after signing in with my college ID I am required to 'Use the domain name [domain name]' and 'configure your browser to use the college proxy servers [example.example.net] on port [123]
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as it's important that I log on to the network for work etc.
Thanks very much for your time.

The encryption should be configured automatically. To use the proxy:
1. Open System Preferences
2. Click on Network
3. Select Airport from the list on the left
4. Click on Advanced, near the bottom right
5. One of the tabs will be called Proxy. Configure your settings there.

    You need to turn on Printer Sharing on both the PC and OS X. I can't help you on Vista but in OS X it's System Preferences - Sharing - check the Printer Sharing box.

    Replace the Time Capsule with one that has a larger hard drive. Or erase the one you have and start a new set of backups or backup one of the computers to a different backup drive.

  • Can not connect to wireless networks with ipad 2

    My ipad used to connect to the wireless net at home and in public areas.
    Now all by the sudden it can't "see"  the network.

  • Troubling extending wireless network with Time Capsule and Airport Extreme

    I am trying to set up and extend a wireless network in my house, but it’s not working right. I have two Airport/Capsule units in the house:
    2TB Time Capsule (Dual-Band II)
    1 Airport Extreme (Dual Band)
    I have the Verizon Fios router as my gateway to the internet, and also as my DHCP server. I have also tested the ethernet ports in my house to verify that they work, and that I can get a DHCP-issued IP address.
    Now, my Verizon router has WiFI, and it’s still on. I am not using it though except to troubleshoot. So far as I understand, this should not cause a problem.
    Base station setup
    So I setup the TC to Create A New Wireless Network, on the ethernet network it’s on (Dlink switch plugged into Verizon router). I set it up in Bridge Mode (as opposed to having it dole out IPs, since the Verizon router does this already). The TC gets a valid IP, and my wireless device connect to it without a problem. I have checked “Allow this network to be expanded” under Wireless settings.
    Extended station setup
    The AE Dual-Band is plugged into the Ethernet, and is reset to Factory Settings. I name it “Airport Extreme 2” and I chose “I want Airport Extreme to join my current network.” The other two options are: “I want to create a new wireless network” and “I want to replace and existing base station or wireless router with Airport Extreme.”
    I chose to “join,” I select “I want to connect Airport Extreme to my network using Ethernet to extend my existing wireless network.” The other options are to disable wireless entirely, or to “wirelessly join my current network.” On the next page it asks me to select the device or network that the Airport Extreme will connect to using the Ethernet. I set it to the Time Capsule.
    Results:
    Access near the Airport Extreme 2 is incredibly slow. Speedtest shows I am getting less than 1Mbps. Worse yet, my mail client won’t connect. It just times out.
    What I had hoped was that the AE would connect via Ethernet to the network, and just bring the wireless network to the other side of the house. Instead it almost seems as though it is just re-amplifying the TC’s signal. Otherwise, why is performance so bad?
    Thanks to anyone with some insight here!

    Hello Kennuff. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Since you have the ability to connect all of the routers by Ethernet, there is no need to configure the Time Capsule (TC) & 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) for a dynamic WDS (aka, extending a network). This option is only when the routers do NOT have an Ethernet connection between them.
    Instead, you want to configure the TC & AEBSn in a "roaming" network. I suggest starting by performing either a "hard" or "factory default" reset on both.
    Next be sure that both the TC & AEBSn are on the same Ethernet subnet coming from the Verizon-supplied router.
    Configure the TC & AEBSn as follows:
    AirPort Utility > Select the TC or AEBSn > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
    o Allow this network to be extended: <not checked>
    o Radio Mode: <leave the default or if you require a specific mode make sure both routers are configured the same>
    o Wireless Security: <configure both routers the same>
    AirPort Utility > Select the TC or AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection
    o Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)

  • Trouble connecting to Wireless Network with T40

    Hi,
    My girlfriend and I are on vacation and renting an apartment with wireless access and though she is able to connect with her much newer laptop I am having trouble. My laptop is an IBM T40 (2373), running Win2000 with the following wireless card
    Cisco Systems PCI Wireless LAN Adapter #2
    Driver Provider Cisco
    Driver Date 4-2-2002
    Driver Version 3.4.9.0
    We were given what they called a username (lets say ourusername) and a password (lets say ourpassword)
    After she has connected if I look at her properties it shows on the connectin tab ourusername for both the name and ssid and on the security tab is shows securty type - no authentication, encryption type WEP and dots for the network security key which presumably correspond to the password which we were given and she was prompted for when she connected.
    The problem is that if I look at the properties for my wireless connection there is no place to enter the password and no mention of WEP. Is the problem that my driver is too old (forgive the lack of a question mark, and some of the other strange punctuation - on top of everything else her keyboard is laid out for spanish and I cant find a many of the punctuation marks). I should mention that I know that my hardware works as I use this card on public access points all of the time. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks in advance for any replies.

    Well try upgrading the firmware of the router & keep on holding tightly
    the reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the
    router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power
    cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable
    to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug
    in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!!
    Open the setup page of router using 192.168.1.1 then put in the password as admin...
    all you need to do is do the wireless settings such as Radio Band Frequency to Standard 20 MHZ frequency,channel to 11.
    Also,the advanced wireless settings to Beacon Interval=50,Frag
    thres=2306 & Rts thres=2307 & then uncheck a Block Anonymous Internet
    Requests & it will definately work!!!

  • Can't connect to wireless network with "conflicting" essid

    Hello,
    My wireless card works perfectly (actually I am using ndiswrapper, but anyway) on Arch and I can connect to my home wireless network. I use iwconfig to connect.
    In my office we have a wireless network. It's essid is "default" and it uses WEP. I can connect to it using Windows, but not using Arch. Im running the following commands:
    iwconfig wlan0 essid "default" key XXXXXXXXXX
    dhcpcd wlan0
    and it doesn't connect ("waiting for carrier..." and nothing happens)
    I guess the problem is that there is another network with the same essid - "default". I've tried to manually associate my card with my office network AP using iwconfig wlan0 ap XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, but it didn't work either.
    What should I do?

    What kind of Wireless card do you have and what does it say when you do a lspci? So for me, I know I have a Broadcom and the way I found it was to do:
    lspci | grep BCM4312 (or whatever wireless make/model you have)
    or
    lspci | grep "Network Controller"
    The second option should also get it for you. From there, you can check out this list to see if that might help you with drivers (but then again, you might have known this already so...).
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't connect to wireless network with Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista

    I set up a wireless network about a week ago, and have made it with the following security features: WEP, enable only certain MAC addresses to connect, and disabled broadcasting the SSID.  I have been able to use it just fine with my Mac computer using airport, but when I have tried to connect my roommates computer, a dell inspiron 1525 with vista, it can't connect.  I can locate the network but when I try to connect to the network, I get a message saying that for an Windows cannot connect to the network and that the Wireless association failed due to unknown reasons.  It then says to connect with your administrator, but that is me.  I have a minimal knowledge of computers just enough to be dangerous and am basically figuring this out as I go along.  If anyone has some advice for me, both my roommate and I will be very grateful.
    Thanks,

  • Trouble connecting to wireless network with WRT610N

    Need some help please.  I have a WRT610N with 3 laptops that I am connecting to the network.  I have been able to successfully connect 2 of them, but the third is a no go.  I have the security set for WPA-TKIP, have a network code set; but when I enter the code on the one laptop and try to connect it won't do it.  The laptop will connect via wired connection and will also connect wireless if I take the security off.  Many times I have noticed the security settings on the laptop will change after I have save them; going from WPA-TKIP back to OPEN-WEP.  I have tried everything, but no luck.  The laptop is running Windows XP Home edition on a Sonay Vaio PCG K-15.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

  • I need to create a wireless network with a Mac and a Windows PC...

    ...and I have made certain assumptions. Are they right?
    First, the background. We have two ISPs: the Mac is connected to cable broadband via Airport Express (the cable point and the Mac are in separate rooms); the PC laptop is connected to broadband down the phoneline via a wireless Netgear modem (or router? not sure what the difference is). Our printer is connected via USB cable to the Mac and we'd like to be able to print wirelessly from the PC. Ideally, I'd like both computers to access the cable broadband.
    Assumption 1: I need to create "A Network";
    Assumption 2: Because the PC may on occasion be used beyond the range of Airport that network should access the web via the Netgear modem/router;
    Assumption 3: My first step is to plug the Netgear modem/router into the cable modem and reset the Mac to work with the Netgear thing.
    Assumption 4: Next step is to change network settings on the PC to go online via cable.
    Assumption 5: Then I weave some voodoo to create A Network (sorry, but this is virgin territory).

    I would recommend that you set up your home network to have one single broadband access point for one and only one wireless router/modem combo (Netgear), that has NAT enabled and DHCP enabled. Then, I believe that Airport Extreme Base Stations can be set up in a "range extender" mode (sorry I don't have one so don't know all the details on this). It would not be set up as a router administering NAT or DHCP, it would be set up more like as if it were a hub (analogy: AC electrical power "octopus" outlet). Lastly, this website has a ton of information on how to set up Macs and PCs to do file sharing, printer sharing, etc., in either direction.

  • Power Mac G3 Pismo with Airport wireless card in Mac OS X 10.4 won't connect to wireless network  with  newest Airport Extreme Base Station set at WPA Personal/WPA 2 Personal encryption.

    My Power Book G3 Pismo with an Airport wireless card  running Mac OS X 10.4.11 will not connect to my new Airport
    Extreme Base Station using WPA Personal/WPA 2 Person encryption.  The Airport firmware is version 9.52.  From
    posts I've read online at different places indicates the Airport card should support the WPA encryption.  Perhaps the problem
    is the Base Station is using a combination setting and the fault is in the base station?
    Thanks for any suggestions

    Perhaps an inexpensive usb wireless adapter would work as well?
    This is probably the simplest way to get the G3 connected to the wireless network.
    I'll have to read up on getting an express and using it as a wireless bridge as I am unfamiliar with the concept.
    The new AirPort Extreme is broadcasting a wireless signal.
    A new AirPort Express could be located close to the G3. The Express will pick up the wireless signal from the AirPort Extreme, then provide an Ethernet connection to the G3 though a short Ethernet cable. 
    This can work very well......IF.....you keep the G3 at a fixed location, since it will always be connected to the AriPort Express using an Ethernet cable.
    I do have an old Linksys Wireless G router.  I wonder if that would work?
    In theory, yes. But it would have to use much older WEP "security", which is easily cracked in minutes using free tools available on the Internet. So, anyone who really wanted to get on the network could do so. It's an option, but not a very good one.

    Are you using WEP, if you can try and use WPA.
    One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
    In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
    The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
    One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
    Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

  • Can't connect to wireless network with encryption.

    I have had no trouble connecting to hotel wireless networks, or my college wireless network. However, when I try to connect to my home network wirelessly, or another family member's network wirelessly, my connection times out when I enter the username and password. I have a MacBook Pro if that makes a difference.

    Try typing a $ in front of the password.

    Make sure you enter the correct password...To check your Wireless Settings follow this link
    If your Wireless Security is WEP then use WEP Key1 and not the Passphrase, make sure to enter a dollar sign on your Apple Computer when you attempt to connect...If your Wireless Security is WPA/WPA2 then use the WPA Shared key and no dollar sign is required...
