Secure wireless

We currently have 3 Linksys WAP54g access points using WPA-PSK.
We would like to be able to authenticate users instead of having one pre shared key for everyone.
It would be great if we could authenticate against our Windows 2003 active directory.
One other requirement would be to have a "guest" account which would be on a seperate VLAN and just have internet access and not access to corporate network.
I found a howto to setup 802.1x with RADIUS, but can't seem to make it work, and not sure how I would do the VLAN thing.
Anyone have any ideas on how to better secure our wireless network. Would like to know what others are doing?

You can use IAS (part of 2000/2003 server) to authenticate users for PEAP or EAP-TLS. Cisco has docs on setting this up for Aironet APs. You may find some docs on the Linksys site for the settings on the Linksys APs.
Linksys APs do not support multiple SSIDs, so the only way to support guest would be to purchase Cisco APs that support VLANs and Multiple SSID (the 1130s are pretty cheap) or to put in 2 seperate wireless networks, one for guests and one for employees.

  • HP Deskjet 3050 - Unable to connect to WPA secured wireless network

    Hello,
    My first post here so please excuse any faux pas on my part.  I bought this HP Deskjet 3050 a week ago and have been waging war with it ever since.  I'd be really grateful if someone could possibly advise on how I can resolve this.
    I am unable to connect the printer to my secured wireless network, even though other computers, cell phones, etc. are connected without issue.  I have tried WPA, WPA2 and WPA2-Mixed security modes with the same failure. Specifically, the connection wizard reaches 66% and then displays the error that the wizard is unable to find network/printer.  If I disable the security, the printer connects fine.
    I'm using a Linksys WRVS4400N router with firewall and associated firewall settings disabled.  The router is broadcasting on 802.11G/N mixed mode.
    I'm installing the software supplied on the setup CD on a Windows XP SP3 system.  I have confirmed that the network the PC and printer are connected to are the same.
    A question as well, if I may:  I haven't tried these drivers yet but I see there are updated drivers for the printer dated 14/12/2010.  The release notes indicate improved networking, but don't elaborate beyond this.  Does anyone know if there was a known problem with connecting to secured networks that has now been fixed?
    Finally, just a note that I'm partially sighted and am using a screen reader on all systems.  I'll try my best to be as helpful as I can but please do excuse me if I occasionally can't find settings, etc. on screen and need a bit more detailed help.
    Thanks in advance for your help, which I really will appreciated.
    Have a pleasant day,
    All the best for now and take care,
    Hussein.
    It's not the fact it can't be done, it's the fact it hasn't been done, yet.
    This question was solved.

    HI,
    firstly, apologies for the delay getting back to you.  Poor health has meant I've had little time nor inclination to do much on the computer side of htings.
    Anyway, I'm please to say the problem with the HP 3050 failing to connect to my network is now solved.  It seems to be a bug with the setup software, and that seems to include the latest version posted Dec 2010.
    To resolve the problem, I did the following:
    1. Disable all security options for the network, so it's just an open network.
    2. Connect the HP 3050 to the network using the setup wizard. This time it connected OK for me.
    3. Locate the printer's IP address.  I used the client list table accessed through my router's interface. You may be able to get this through the printer's on-screen menu, but as I'm partially sighted, this wasn't an option for me.
    4. Log into the printer's control panel at http://ip.address.of.printer e.g. http://192.168.2.108
    5. Under the advanced options, configure the settings for the network, including security protocol and passphrase.  Remember to enter the SSID of the network exactly as configured on the router.
    6. Apply the settings and log out of the printer's control panel.
    7. Log back into the router's control panel and re-apply the security options.  Be sure that they match those match those entered for the printer.
    Hopefully this will be of use to others in the same position.
    Thanks again for your time.
    Best,
    H.

  • Unable to connect to a secure wireless network - Event ID: 8002 Task Category: AcmConnection..., Event ID: 11006, Event ID: 11006

    Hi, 
    I have a Dell Latitude E6440 running Win 7
    Enterprise 64 on a domain. It will connect to any unsecured network, and it can see the secured network in the list when I click the wireless connection icon on the system tray. When I go to manage wireless networks, the secured network does not show
    up (and thus, I cannot delete the network to try to re-add it). Normally, we would add the secure network here. I click Add, give the name in the correct syntax, add the needed information (WPA/2-Enterprise, EAS or TKIP), and hit Next, it immediately returns
    with "An unexpected error occurred". A similar thing happens when I hit Connect from the list of available networks that pops up when I open the system tray icon: it says it was unable to connect, when I hit troubleshoot, it says that it could not
    identify the problem. The event log shows the error below. I haven't been able to find any resolutions here or elsewhere that address the fact that I can connect to unsecured wireless networks, but not secured wireless networks.
    Other notable troubleshooting steps:
    Uninstalled/Reinstalled wireless adapter with the latest driver
    Other laptops are able to access the same secure wireless network
    The first WLAN-AutoConfig error in the event log was Event ID: 12013, attempting a 802.1x authentication. Then Event ID: 11006; stating "Explicit Eap failure received". After a few days of alternating all 3 errors, they started to only error on

  • Connecting with secure wireless

    Hi, this is my 1st venture with an apple computer but I seem to have hit a wall already.
    I am using a wireless G unbranded router that is secured by a 10 digit WEP passcode, it can also be set up to use WPA but I had trouble with the vista laptop that connects to the network using WPA, there is also an XP laptop which will connect using either. I believe the WEP is only 64 bit so I'll try upping it to 128 and see what happens. For information there are 3 laptops that need to connect all with different operating systems, OSX, XP & Vista.
    The problem is my MBP doesn't like the secured connection, it will connect wirelessly if the connection is unsecured or it will connect via ethernet so I know it can communicate with the router.
    If I secure the connection by WEP then it says connection failed or if I do it by WPA then it says connection timed out, at no time does it have trouble seeing the network.
    Does anyone know what i need to do to get it working. I believe the WEP is only 64 bit so I'll try upping it to 128 and see what happens but does anyone else have any other ideas?
    Many thanks
    James

    Right I am very pleased to say that I am typing this on my secured wireless connection, I could go on about how much I'm loving the laptop but I'm sure you already know.
    I have noticed that when I reboot or put it to sleep that when it comes back on it won't connect again, it says that none of my prefered networks are available but when I click connect it remembers the key but states login failed. In order to connect I use the assist function then diagnostics, select airport, select my network, it then asks if my network is PPPoE or DHCP, I select DHCP, then it scans and states that the connection appears to be working correctly and I'm able to use the net.
    I have to do this everytime, I have updated to the latest software available for everything but it's made no difference. Is there anything that I am doing wrong?
    Thanks again

  • Secure wireless and generic ldap

    Hi All,
    I'm looking into setting up a secure wireless network and can't seem to find a good fit with environment we have.
    Environment:
    WLC's
    ACS 4.1
    Generic ldap
    95% of laptops use built in Windows XP(SP3) configuration tool.
    I can get everything working fine with Dell Wireless Utility or Intel utility in XP, Vista built in or 3rd party client but I CAN'T seem to get Windows XP built in client to work with anything.
    I read the EAP Authentication Protocol and User Database Compatibility document and found out that I can use EAP-GTC, EAP-FAST phase 2 and EAP-TLS.
    I'm looking into the most seamless way for our users to connect and taking "20 minutes" to configure their network card isn't a really good option.
    Any ideas or suggestion (something I'm missing) would be greatly appreciated.
    Craig

    Hi. I am currently running a whole mix of clients with regards to WPA security. I have most of the laptops on their respective ccx supplicant / utility. However I do have users that run the WZC service from XP. I am not at SP3, but rather SP2 for most of the machines. I'm using PEAP (MSCHAPv2) and it works well in the SP2 environment. I did notice some issues running WZC on Vista with the new Intel N cards and early release drivers, but I didn't get a chance to try the updated versions to see if it would solve the problem. I'm running the Funk OAS radius server and the Microsoft IAS service. The problem with XP and WZC is the lack of EAP types supported. I lucked out because PEAP MSCHAPv2 is natively supported. I'm 99.9 percent positive that WZC under XP does not support LEAP and EAP-FAST since they are Cisco. So, unfortunately in order to get those clients going with WPA Enterprise security you're going to have to install the client card utility or have them run a different EAP type config.

  • Secured wireless connection

    I have an older Linksys BEFW11s4 I want to have a secured wireless connection and I don't know how to do it. When I see my wireless connection, it says unsecured.

    The information you seek is located in your manual, searching the web or you may go here.

  • Hi, I am trying to print to an HP4050n via a secure wireless network.  It prints but the default page setting sent to the printer is JIS B5.  I have to hit the "Go" to get the printer to print.  I have the correct setting in my Printer Settings (Letter).

    I am attempting to print via a wireless (secure) network to an HP4050n printer.  The document prints AFTER I choose "GO" on the printer.  It is waiting as it wants me to load the JIS B5 paper/tray.  I have the printer defined as Letter but in spite of that, it is requesting a different setting.  I am thinking that because I am using the Generic PCL setting (I also tried the HP 4/5 PCL ) it is not communicating correctly.  It does print once I get up and hit the GO button.
    Any ideas?  Thanks.

    The paper size would normally be coming from the application rather than some setting in the driver. I've never seen the Generic PCL driver send a request for B5, but then I do use A4 rather than Letter and I don't have a PCL printer at home to check this. But I do think it has more to do with the application/document being printed.
    For the application that you are using, is there are a separate Page Setup menu?
    If the page and document is correctly set to Letter, you mention a wireless secure. If you mean something more than a wireless network that requires a password to access it, such as using https to connect to a remote server, then it could be settings for the shared printer queue. Although these shared printers are usually just an access point (throughport) for the remote client. Still, if you do have some additional network server for this secure wireless network, then this could be contributing to the incorrect paper size call.

  • Secure Wireless Connection

    I have been thinking about getting the iPhone ever since it came out and I guess I was wondering if anyone could answer whether or not it can connect to secure wireless connections that require a password. I am a college student and we have wireless throughout campus but it requires my student id and password to be typed in if it were used on a computer. Thanks for any information.

    I have the same problem. I can easily access wireless networks everywhere except at work (a college also). Our system requires both a user name and password. Laptops easily access the network but I can't log on with my iphone. It is a real bummer because our campus has thick old brick buildings and edge will not penetrate them meaning that I am dead in the water without wireless. BTW network wireless at the college is the only thing that I don't have working flawlessly on the iphone. I had two of out best IT guys mess with my iphone for a couple of hours and they said that unless apple gives a fix that allow for both a user name and pass work when logging in that they can't help me. ANYONE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE?

  • Secure wireless bridge

    I want to establish a secure wireless bridge (with a root bridge and one non root bridge). I can set in the non-root which is the MAC address of the parent, but how can I set in the root bridge with MAC is the non-root one ? I want to avoid other non root bridges can connect to the parent
    Thanks

    Have an encryption running between the bridges. This way even if a unknown nonroot gets associated to the root, you will not be able to transmit or recevie data if the encryption keys are incorrect, and we have control over the encryption keys

  • Secure wireless authentication

    I have just been reading all the posts about secure wireless access and I am
    not happy with the direction Novell has chosen to take.
    I have been extremely pleased with Netware, GroupWise & ZenWorks but Novell
    is starting to loose it's appeal.
    Let me summarize what I have learned and see if I have made any mistakes
    with my understanding.
    1. Novell has stopped development on their Radius server and have no plans
    to resume development.
    2. Novell contributed code to the open source FreeRadius project.
    http://www.novell.com/news/press/arc...2/pr05008.html
    3. There isn't any Radius server with 802.1x authentication that runs on
    Netware (Netware kernel).
    a. Novell's Radius server (BMAS or the newer NMAS server) doesn't do
    802.1x authentication.
    b. I have contacted Funk and this is their reply. Steel-Belted Radius
    Server will run on Windows and Solaris (Linux is coming).
    http://www.funk.com/News&Events/sbr_linux_pn.asp
    c. MTG House hasn't gotten back to me about a solution for Netware. (I
    am doubtful, I didn't find anything on their website.)
    4. You need to run a Radius server that does 802.1x authentication and will
    work/integrate with eDir.
    a. FreeRadius (Linux) will integrate with Edir.
    http://www.novell.com/documentation/...ius/index.html
    http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/15383.html
    b. Funk's Steel-Belted Radius server (Windows, Solaris & Linux is in
    beta).
    http://www.funk.com/radius/default.asp
    c. Aegis Server
    http://www.mtghouse.com/products/aeg...er/index.shtml
    5. You need a 802.1x Client to authenticate to a Radius server for wireless
    authentication.
    a. Microsoft has 802.1x support in their client. (read this from other
    posts in this forum)
    b. Novell isn't planning on putting 802.1x support in the NW Client.
    (read this from other posts in this forum)
    c. There are 2 Radius clients that integrate with the NW Client for
    Radius Edir authentication.
    1. Funk's Odyssey Client ($45 - $50 per workstation depending on
    quantity) + added annual maintenance costs.
    $2281.25 for 50 Client licenses & annual maintenance.
    http://www.funk.com/radius/wlan/wlan_c_radius.asp
    2. Aegis' Client ($32 - $39.99 per workstation depending on
    quantity) + added annual maintenance costs.
    $2240.00 for 50 Client licenses & annual maintenance.
    http://www.mtghouse.com/products/aeg...nt/index.shtml
    http://www.mtghouse.com/novell_app_note_122204.pdf
    3. When FreeRadius is integrated with Edir is this separate client
    still needed?
    I didn't see anything about a separate client being needed while
    reading the Integrating FreeRadius with Edir documentation.
    6. FreeRadius support is going to be built-in to the next version of Edir.
    http://www.novell.com/news/press/arc...2/pr05008.html
    Why didn't Novell contribute code to port FreeRadius to Netware?
    At this point in time they are still giving us a choice between the Netware
    kernel and the Linux kernel. To me that says they are willing to make
    things work with both systems until they drop support for the Netware
    kernel. Ok, so give me support for 802.1x authentication in the Netware
    kernel. I don't have stray single purpose servers floating around my
    network and I don't want to have to begin that practice just to get Radius
    802.1x authentication working.
    I also won't put my district at a disadvantage by upgrading to the Linux
    kernel until I know Linux well enough to administer it properly. I am the
    IT department at this district so I don't have a great deal of extra time to
    run about learning the new things I would LOVE to learn. I'm sure I'm not
    the only person in this situation so Novell should take these things into
    concideration before they just drop support for a product they say they are
    still supporting. Obviously all of the real support is going toward the
    Linux side at Novell.

    Ok, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say fine the Netware kernel
    might as well be considered dead. So they are giving me support via
    FreeRadius if I just migrate to OES (Linux). Ok, I might/can live with that
    as a Novell decision.
    But that still doesn't explain why they don't give us some client to log in
    via 802.1x. Giving us the server but not the client is like giving us a
    locked door without a key. That's just plain stupid. I would rather stay a
    Netware - OES shop, but if Novell can't think something this simple through
    then I'm a little nervous about staying with them. What could they think up
    next?
    I guess Novell has decided to port all it's software to Windows cause it
    sucks so bad at business decisions. GroupWise & ZenWorks run completely on
    Windows now, so why do I need OES at all? Except for complexity &
    integration issues of course. I mean why would I need to purchase Edir for
    Windows if I didn't stay with OES? Or Nsure Identity Manager for that
    matter. So if we start looking deeper into this we see Marketing all over
    this thing. Novell Marketing has always done such a good job for Novell.
    Novell has given me a real choice that will work though. If I migrate
    completely to a Windows network it just works without any added costs. Heck
    it even makes my installs easier without having to install the NW Client on
    every new workstation. I can still run ZenWorks & GroupWise too.
    Now, how is Novell Marketing going to screw up and make me hate GroupWise &
    Zenworks so I migrate completely away from Novell products? Way to go
    Novell!

  • Joining secure wireless network

    I am trying to join a secure wireless network at work. I have added a secure network name. I am confused about which security profile to choose (WEP, WPA, LEAP...). I chose WPA personal and had the IT admin enter password without result.
    Are there any documents that outline this process?
    Many thanks

    I am confused about which security profile to choose (WEP, WPA, LEAP...).
    If you select the network name from the AirPort menu, it should prompt you a password and it will know the type of encryption being used.
    Also... your IT admin should know the type of encryption. Why didn't he tell you what to use?

  • Can I use the Airport Express to create a secure wireless network in a wireless-only hotel?

    Can I use the Airport Express to log onto an unsecured hotel wireless network, without an ethernet cable, to create a secure wireless network for my MacbookAir, IPad, IPhone, etc.? If so, how is that done?

    will the Airport Express allow you to log onto a hotel wireless network, and broadcast a secure wireless network in your room for your wireless devices, like the Ipad, Iphone, etc.?
    The bottom line with a single AirPort Express is no.
    The AirPort Express can only "extend" a wireless network when the network is being provided by another Apple router.
    As you might imagine, it is extremely unlikely that that the hotel network....which no doubt uses professional wireless access points provided by a manufacturer of commercial systems.....would be compatible with an AirPort Express.
    In many years of travel domestically and internationally, I cannot recall a time when a single AirPort Express would "extend" the signal provided by a hotel's wireless network.
    However, if you had two AirPort Express devices handy, you might be able to configure one to "join" the hotel network and provide an Ethernet signal to the second AirPort Express, which would be configured to "create" your own "private"  wireless network.

  • Connecting Nokia N900 to secure wireless

    I can't get my N900 to connect to any secure wireless!!! (where psw is required)
    I just downloaded the latest firmware - software - etc from nokia website hoping this would solve the problem but it doesn't!!!
    The nokia just gives me two options to be connected:
    Push a button on wireless station to initiate easy setup process and tap "done"
    Pin method: Enter the following digits on wireless station and tap "Done".
    My router doesn't have any "button" for this, nor can I in its setup introduce the pin.... and EVEN IF THIS WOULD WORK... what would I do if I want to connect from anywhere else and cant access the router to change its configuratino or "press a buton" on it???
    What can I do to override this useless connection setup of my nokia?????

    I had this problem the other day when I was at a friends house.  Everyone else with an Iphone, there were 4 or 5 Iphones, were connected  to his wireless but my N900 wouldn't connect and kept asking for the pin code for the wireless.
    Has anyone else had this problem when there has been a lot of Iphones?

  • Have problems sending mail from a secure wireless connection. but ok from starbucks

    I have several clients here at my marina all using different email providers and they all seem to have problems sending out mail from my secure wireless. They can recieve mail no problem. Now here is where it get weird. I added my gmail account to one of the problem iphones and same thing was happening, when i go to send out an email from my account on their phone it gets stuck trying to send mail. I compaired server setting on my phone to his and everything was that same, even turned off his server from fairpoint(the email he uses) and kept my gmail one and still couldnt send mail from his phone but worked fine on mine. Apple set up this individuals iphone/ipad so it make me think they did something when he had the accounts added. Any thoughts?

    look here for gmail accounts

  • Wireless vs secured wireless

    I am encountering a problem where one of my laptops will not see the secured wireless linksys connection.  It sees linksys, but only the unsecured.  So far, I have gotten the other computers in my home to see the secured network, I then enter the password and it connects fine.  However, for this one laptop, it will not find teh secured network.  Anyone have any suggestions?

    Fun story as to why you should never use the default SSID:
    My friends and I were renting a house together one year and were just setting up our wireless network. We had a fresh router set up at a spot where we could all get pretty good reception, then we went to secure it. We were not the only ones with an SSID of "Linksys", so we chose the one with the better signal, assuming it was ours. It wasn't. It was our neighbor's unsecured network. We, of course, did not realize this as we secured it.
    It took us a day or two to realize our mistake, and we gave our neighbors their wireless network back.

  • T61 Wireless Connectivity Issue - can not connect with secure wireless sites

    I have a T61 using Windows XP. The internal wireless card was factory installed and has not been upgraded.
    My home Internet is Comcast high-speed.
    When I take my laptop to a coffee shop, business or other location with a secure wireless network that requires a password, I have not been able to log on. I can see the wireless networks available and can click on the appropriate one, but I never get a window/pop-up box/screen in order to allow me to enter the wifi network's user name and password.
    Is this a firewall issue, wireless card issue...or?
    I can access unsecured wireless networks where a password is not needed.

    Hi lisapapp!
    One more thing to check: Is your Windows XP up to date? Older XP releases do not support the newer wireless encryption types which are now in common use (WPA, WPA2). Make sure you have SP3.
    I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!
