Logging onto a secure network.

I would to like to use my iPhone when at university to save having to bring my laptop to access the internet.
When I first tried to connect my laptop airport prompted me to enter my user name and password. I didi this and saved in keychain and it works fine.
However, with my iPhone when trying to access the same network it only asks me for a password and there seems to be now way to enter my user name.
Is this a flaw with the iPhones wifi access or am I doing something wrong?

I think your university is using an Enterprise level of wireless security and it appears as though the iPhone does not support that (yet).
Someone else seems to be having the same issue:

4S will not log onto any secure WiFi Networks

Up until 2 weeks ago my 4S was working fine with all WiFi networks. I was traveling in Vancouver last week and tried to log onto the hotel WiFi. It was password protected and my phone would state "incorrect" password even with the correct password. My laptop, my wife's 4S and my son's 4S could log into the WiFi but my phone couldn't. I wrote it off as an anomaly but now that I am back home I am having the same issue with my home WiFi that's password protected. I have synced my phone, I have done a hard reset and I have done a network reset but nothing works. We have 6 other devices connected to the WiFi but I keep getting an incorrect password error.
I believe something in the iOS is corrupted and I am going to do a restore. However, just wanted to see if anyone has any tips or similar experience because the restore is a little bit of a hassel.
Thanks.

If the same issue occurs at multiple locations then the issue is with the device. You're well within your warranty so you need to call to setup a free repair/service on your device. Or go to an Apple Retail Store.
And yes, Apple wants to be paid because it's a paid support line after 90 days.

Mac keeps logging onto neighbour's network!

I have an Airport system connected to my hi-fi, which correctly appears as a network option. However, a rogue network has also appeared (I assume a neighbour).
I am a bit concerned about security and the like, so I'd like to set my Mac to not ever log onto the neighbour's network, and to only search for my own one.
I have tried SYSTEM PREFERENCES - NETWORK, but oddly the network names don't appear in the PREFERRED NETWORKS box. However, they do appear in the Finder's top taskbar.
How can I tell the Mac to only log into my hi-fi network (or - more importantly - ignore the rogue one).
Thanks!

Very amusing. My daughter has an iBook with Airport. I'm not wireless, or wasn't over summer when she kept conveniently accessing the internet. Never the tekkie, I assumed it was by some invisible force ("magic"), courtesy of the amazing apple. Turns out she was innocently airporting off of several neighbors (pick anyone at any time); only one of them had put in a password, but sometimes she was limited if the non-password folks had their computer off. We didn't figure out what was going on for several months, when a tekkie's visit discovered it. She never did any mischief, but I agree with those concerned about security. Appreciate the info in those replies; we'll do that when I get upgraded.
I have Airport Extreme base station now, so neighbors are not necessary, LOL.

Having trouble logging onto a WPA network.

Hello all!
After surfing for a couple of hours through the forums, I decided to make this post...
I have been having trouble logging on to my work WiFi. I use an Actiontec GT701-WG DSL modem, with a WPA network. I have tried to reset my Network Settings, but did not help. The message I get every time is, "Cannot log onto (network name)".
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Chad

Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds.
On your iPad use Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings

Under firefox 4 i no longer see the padlock icon in the lower right of the screen when i log onto a secure site

The padlock icon is no longer visible for any site that requires a login

One of the main principles of Human Computer Interaction [HCI] is that there should be immediate visibility to the system's status. Forcing the user to "click" the identity site key and try to locate the lock-pad encryption icon is poor design. The icon has become a default standard expectation of the INTERNET user community across browsers. Internet Explorer, of which, I'm not a fan - has done away with a bottom bar, yet retained the padlock in the top right of the menu bar [it is conditionally displayed only when the site is secure]. Firefox has made a fundamental UI mistake, and amazingly trumped by the generally inferior Microsoft team. Don't follow the FF team and parrot the propaganda - 'yea we screwed up but you can determine the same thing by taking several extra steps- because we are FF team and you are just the peon users". Death of the open source community?

Problem with email settings after trying to log onto secure network...

i was trying to access a network at work. when the "found networks" screen popped up, i selected the secured and then tried to enter the key. the IT guy didn't think it would work because he needed to know the mac address, but we tried it anyway.
apparently, we mis-typed the key, and shortly there after, the phone locked up (the screen would freeze). i plugged it into the computer to reset and eventually the phone would wake up and seemed to be ok, but i noticed that the phone was REALLY slow. also, when i unplugged the phone from my computer, if i put it to sleep, it wouldn't wake up and i would have to plug it back in to the computer to get the screen to show again (it could have just been slow to respond).
So, after dealing with the panic that my phone was defective, i decided to "restore" the phone. During the process, it asked if i wanted to restore from backup or "install as new" or something like that. thinking back to the nightmare activation period, i choose restore from backup. now, everything seems to be working ok, but when i try to send email, i get a "server doesn't recognize my email address" message. btw, i can receive email messages from my isp. i didn't have this problem before and can't help but wonder that something with that previous attempt to connect to that secure network is causing some problem...
i know this is a long message, but i tried to include all pertinant information in the hopes of someone being able to offer some suggestions. i guess my next stop will be the apple genius.
thanks.

^ What he said. You can try changing the outgoing mail server to cwmx.com as well, just to see if that helps you out. If it does, it's most likely not connecting to the WiFi, rather it's using EDGE as that's an AT&T/Cingular (one entity?) server.

Computers log onto neighbours network rather than my own

I am running an Extreme network with 2 Express stations attached for routing music. My Mac mini and my iBook (4 users) log's onto my neighbours network each time I log in resulting having to manually change to my own network.
My network is WEP protected and the password is stored in each of my users keychains. However, each time I log in it reverts back to my neighbous system.
This is a recent occurence since adding an express station and my new mac mini to the network.
Does anybody have any ideas for avoiding this frustrating issue?
iBook G3 800MHz Mac OS X (10.3.9) 640MB SD RAM

Hi Yossie:
Welcome to Apple Discussions:
Navigate to: System Preferences>Network>Airport>By default join: Preferred Network, then select the network you want your mac to log-into. You can also remove the networks you don't want your mac to log into)
I hope this helps!

HT204409 I am trying to log onto my wireless connection but it keeps telling me I'm unable to locate any wireless network. I know there are several networks nearby. Is this a problem with my phone or my router?

I am trying to log onto my wireless connection but it keeps telling me I'm unable to locate any wireless network. I know there are several networks nearby. Is this a problem with my phone or my router?

I found a solution that has worked on both iPhone 4's I have that have had the same issues, and also including not being able to download updates in the App store.
Go to Settings > WiFi and turn it OFF.
Next go to General > Cellular > Cellular Data and turn it OFF
Next go back to Settings > WiFi and turn it ON, (wait a few seconds for it to sync with your network)
Finally go back to General > Cellular > Cellular Data and turn it ON.
I had the same issues on both my wife's phone, and my own, and it fixed it immediately without changing any proxy settings or reboots, (which I did try on my phone and did not work, but did not try on my wife's phone)
Hope this helps!

Problem with Windows 98 logging onto wireless network

I have a unique issue that I am having some issues trying to fix. I have a
PC that is running Windows 98SE that connects to the network via a Cisco
Aironet 350 wireless card. I removed this card from another PC and it was
working fine a week and a half ago. I place this card in the other PC and
install the drivers and Novell Client 3.40 and I can't log onto the
network. The PC can associate to the AP though. I can also put in a regular
10/100 ethernet card and get on the network. We use 128-bit WEP encryption.
I have checked my WEP key and it's correct. I have set the client
properties based on another PC that is connected so that shouldn't be the
issue. I have 15 other PC's with the same card and client version that are
getting on the network just fine. Also when we look at our AP through the
web interface, in a column where it usually lists the authenticated
machine's IP addresses, it only says Unassigned for this machine. I am at a
loss of where to go next with this issue. I have been looking around not
only Novell's site but Cisco's as well and no dice there.I would truly
appreciate any help anyone could give me.
Thank You
Jami Benson

Bound applies to Protocols in general. (W9x versions, Not XP)
Open "Network". (You can right click "Network Neighborhood", select
Properties or use the control panel)
Inspect the "Properties" for each adapter listed on the Configuration
Tab.
Do Not change anything at this time, and ALWAYS choose CANCEL for
safety . Once you have it figured, you will make and save changes :)
There are 3 groups of entries. Clients,Services,Protocols.
You choose to "Bind" a particular protocol(s) to a adapter(part of the
Adapters properties).
Not all protocols need be bound to the SAME adapter (nor is it
desired). Example: Bind PPOE to dial-up, TCP/IP to the Wireless
adapter, IPX to the 10-100T WIRED adapter. << Example, do NOT really
do this.
802.11 wireless DOES NOT support the IPX protocol. If your printers
use IPX (only), then you will need a Print Queue on the server for
that printer and PRINT to that PRINT Q from the wireless (or IP only)
devices.

Start with getting a Internet connection to work.
That will also indicate that TCP/IP is working.
When you don't use DHCP, you have to do everything (settings)
yourself, CORRECTLY :^)
IP (no clash with existing stations)
Subnet mask, same as every one else on the network.
Gateway the A/P
DNS as needed, one should be your ISP's suggested.
Is the A/P correctly configured for your Non-DHCP network?
*AND* are you sure you have the proper adapter drivers for W98(se)????

Having difficulty logging onto a home wifi network after having installed latest iOS

Redirector prevents computer from logging onto network

I am using Desktop Manager v4.7. Ever since I upgraded from v4.6 to v4.7, the redirector tries to launch and connect to the network before my desktop computer is able to do so. To make matters worse, the computer wont log onto the network because the redirector is trying to log onto it.
Finally, the redirector crashes at which point the computer is able to log onto the network. However, by then, the redirector wont try to log onto the network again, and my emails are not forwarded to my blackberry.
Thus, is it possible to have the redirector wait until the computer has logged onto the network before it tries launch itself?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

OK, MnJim,
Then in that case, if your disabling the SSID, you'll need to type in the SSID manually each time since I don't believe that Airport on the Mac can find an SSID to automatically connect to, if the SSID is not being broadcast.
So it almost seems like you're between a rock and a hard place. Don't want to type the SSID in order to 'find' it? Then don't disable it.
Also:
With the SSID broadcast disabled, if there is another access point within range that is broadcasting, systems will automatically switch to the access point that's broadcasting its SSID. This happens even if you didn't list that broadcasting system as a preferred network and you've listed the access point that's not broadcasting as preferred.

It seems as if it's "to-may-to", "to-mah-to". A serious hacker will find a way to find your SSID, broadcasted or not. Disabling it simply makes your life more of a hassle.
...for what it's worth...
Anyone else find other factoids to support 'disabling', or a better way to keep the connection 'automatic' without an publicized SSID ?

Why can I not access My iPhone on my Air - they have the same cloud account - same iTunes - logged onto the same wifi network... and connected via USB - difficult much?!its killing me ahhh my screen smashed and i want access to my iPhone on my macbook

why is it sooo hard still --- can anyone inform me on this miracle app please
thank you
sincerely

find my iphone is something one needs to activate on the phone itself using the same appelID is nowhere near enough
if it is then one can track, play a sound and remote whipe it from
www.icloud.com
if your screen is smashed and you think you can use find my iphone to get any data from your phone you are sadly mistaken
