Trouble Connecting to a Closed Network

I have been trying to connect to the Network in the lab. Predominately filled with Windows users, no one knows the slightest bit about how to connect a Mac, it uses WPA Authentication with TKIP encryption. I have a username and password but when trying to connect with WPA Enterprise it says the network does not recognize that kind of encryption. Does anyone know how to fix this problem. The windows instructions for setting up a wireless network are at:

if that helps at all.
Thanks

  • Help - wifi connection to a closed network

    I have a blackberry 8900. How do you connect to a closed network via ADSL? The wifi does connect to the router, and I am able to browse the net. The ADSL also allows access to a closed network, but I am unable to access the closed network.
    why? if i can access the internet via router, why can i not access the closed network?
    thanks

    By a closed network, are you referring to your own internal network?

  • Does anyone have trouble connecting to their wireless network, after being logged on for some time? Mountain Lion.

    I am having trouble connecting to my wireless network.  It works when I startup my computer but, after a while it can't seem to find the wireless network. I have an Airport Extreme and the light is green. The only way to remedy this problem is to restart my computer. Mountain Lion isn't that great after all not to mention it distorts some images when scrolling. I am kindly asking for some advice, I assume a major update will be coming soon.

    You don't by chance have a "invisible" or "hidden" network enabled on the router?
    Because Mac's won't reconnect automatically now to hidden network only upon reboots, it's sort of like advertising the hidden network if you take the computer elsewhere.
    Also hidden networks are no deterrent to hackers, they see all.
    Also check your time and date, make sure they accurate first, then save that, then make sure it's updated via Apple time servers in your general location (System Preferences > Time and Date) If your being kicked off, your DCHP lease might be expiring too early.

  • Should iPhone remember connection to a "closed network?"

    I chose to keep my network closed by configuring my Airport Extreme to not broadcast it's network name. Laptops have no trouble remember the settings for my closed network after just one configuration. I just got my new iPhone connected to my Airport Extreme, but it seems to lose or forget the settings after it automatically locks. I then have to reconfigure the Wi-Fi settings of the iPhone to reconnect to my wireless network.
    Is this normal behavior? Shouldn't the iPhone remember the network settings for networks it successfully connects to, even if the network is not broadcasting its SSID?

    Perhaps this is a modem security thing. In France, I use a LiveBox modem. The iphone French help line told me to disconnect then reconnect the modem, wait for 4 buttons to begin flashing and then stay on, until the final 5th button - the one that indicates wifi - starts to flash. During that time, new devices can be added.
    I did this, it worked, the iphone's stayed on wifi for two days. I've gone shopping, taken it for walks, and still it connects, no problems, on return.

  • MacBook 10.6.7. is having trouble connecting to my wireless network.

    Hi all~
    I am basically having trouble with my wireless connection. I know I have  a functioning connection because my girlfriend is able to connect and surf just fine. However, I try to log on and get the usual error messages. I've tried the network diagnostic and the setup assistant to no avail. They tell me to contact my ISP, but my ISP can't find a problem. Any advice out there? Has my airport gone crazy....is this a hardware issue??

  • IPad trouble connecting to wi-fi network

    Have 2nd generation iPad1 w/ latest iOS.  Can not recognize or connect to a local wi-fi network which my iMac (located in the same room) has no trouble connecting with.  Any ideas? 

    Usually it's because you are not making internet connection via wifi.

  • Trouble connecting to specific WiFi network

    Starting a few months ago, my iPad mini has been having trouble connecting to my home WiFi network. At first I figured it was my WiFi, but I've tried resetting iit, which did not correct the problem. Also, oddly nobody else had trouble connecting. My boyfriend's iPad and both of our iPhones have strong connection everywhere in the apartment. Obnoxiously, my iPad can connect to every other WiFi network in our building with strong connections, just not mine!
    I have tried resetting network settings and did a full factory restore but I'm still experiencing the same issue. I can't decide whether it's an iPad issue or a WiFi issue. Nobody else has problems with the WiFi, and my iPad doesn't have problems with any other connection!
    Here's what is actually happening: to connect to my network, I have to literally set the iPad right next to the router until it connects. Immediately after I walk away, it drops down to 1 bar and as long as I'm within that room, I can use my iPad. Once I leave the room, the connection is lost.
    It's driving me INSANE. Please help with suggestions or similar experiences
    ps. This has not been an issue caused by system upgrades as it has been going on for several months and has finally driven me crazy enough to get help, haha

    You have a wifi signal; it's just very weak. That suggests two possible causes:
    1. The iPad case. In some cases, a case may interfere with the wifi signal significantly. Remove the case, and test the wifi again.
    2. The wifi antenna. In rare cases, the wifi antenna will become dislodged or torn; they're fragile strips of filament.
    The iPad case is easy to fix. The antenna requires more skill, and urge you to use an experienced professional.

  • Trouble connecting to Wi-Fi network

    I have a 2nd gen Touch that works great everywhere. However when I visit my parents it never connects to their wireless network. The network shows up under the wi-fi settings but when I enter the password it tells me it's wrong, every single time. I know the password is not wrong, because the exact same password works on my laptops, both mac and pc, when they connect to the network. It is a wpa2 personal network. I would like to use my touch when I come here, but i usually have to settle for my laptop. Any ideas? Thanks

    Passwords are case sensitive. Are any special characters used? Does your parents network use two names, i.e. our network vs. ournetwork?

  • Having trouble connecting to my wireless network

    Hi everyone, my iPad gen 3 can not connect to my wireless network. I have to unplug my router, and repower for it to connect. Even going into settings on the iPad, and putting in the password for the wireless connection, the iPad gives me an error message that the password is incorrect. I was thinking of updating to a new router. My current router is about 3 years old. I am also running Network Magic from Cisco. Can anyone give me any ideas for a solution to this problem? As always, thank you for your help.

  • Having trouble connecting to existing home network

    I have US Robotics Wireless Turbo Access Point & Router. We have a mixture of PCs and Macs that connect without problems. Router is set Mac Filter Disabled and Wep disabled.
    I have a new imac 17inch with Airport Extreme.Using Network Diagnostics the network name is found but then says it needs a network password. Box asking for Wireless Security - Wep Password.
    We have older imac, ibook, a new powerbook all connecting without any problems.
    Help appreciated as I am a convert from pc and excited to get on.
    It may be relevant that during set up when it failed to connect to our network by name, I clicked on 'wireless'. It obviously found a connection of sorts and set up. I was puzzled why access was so slow. I assumed it was connected to out own network. Thank you.
    Imac 17inch   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   Using US Robotics Wireless Turbo Access Point & Router

    Hi Duane. Thank you for responding so quickly. On Wednesday I bought a Mac Mini from our new Apple Store here in UK. It was dead-on-arrival. Took it back and decided to go for the imac to avoid any further frustration and go completely mac.
    It is definitely looking at my network. If I turn the router off it disappears from the drop down menu at top of screen. It reappears when I plug the router back on. So it is recognising that the network exists. When I try through System Preferences, Network, it lists my network - when clicked there is no signal level.
    I get 'There wan error joining the AirPort network etc'.
    When I try through Assistance I get message 'Enter AirPort information .........stating my network requires password etc.
    I am logged onto my router via my pc and WEP is definitely disabled. I am thinking I have another faulty machine.

  • Trouble connecting to a WiFi network in OS X Mountain Lion

    Why is it that sometimes I cannot connect to a WiFi network unless I move that specific network to the top of the list of my preferred networks under a profile in my WiFi settings?  I dont understand it because OS X Lion had the same problem.  Sometimes when I am connected to a WiFi network, it acts like it isn't connected, and I can't use Safari or any other interet-based application.  It gets me so fustrated!

    After countless hours, and two hours of a phone discussion with MSU support, the support person figured out the issue.
    There are two articles that I am sure explain this much better which I will place in this post. Read the articles to their entirety if yo want to know what is going on. My original understanding of the root cause was actually incorrect. However, the fix seems to work.
    The fix was fairly easy. Basically I had to load FireFox, and load the webpage from MSU that was sending the certificate. Then export that certificate, import it into the keycahin, then mark the cerificate as "Always Trust".
    I actually did this for two certificates: guestlogin2.wireless.msu.edu.crt and dhcp.msu.edu.crt. I had to do this for each user on the account, and reboots were required. It seems to have fixed the issue. (3 MacBooks so far)
    http://superuser.com/questions/349740/mac-os-x-lion-10-7-2-update-breaks-ssl
    Useful clip from the above:
    In my experience this happens only when connecting behind a captive portal. I think the reason is that the operating system tries to validate the certificate of the captive portal's login page, but the validation process requires internet access. I was able to fix this problem by manually adding the certificate of the captive portal page to the keychain and marking it as always trust.
    You can export the certificate with the following steps:
    Visit the captive portal page in Firefox
    Select Tools > Page Info > Security > View Certificate > Details > Export
    Save the certificate to your hard drive with the extension ".crt"
    You can import the certificate with the following steps:
    Open Keychain Access.app
    Drag the certificate from Finder into a keychain
    Double click on the certificate and expand the "Trust" section
    Choose "When using this certificate: Always Trust"
    Close the popup window
    If you cannot open Keychain Access because your keychain is corrupted, turn off wireless, delete~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain and /Library/Keychains/System.keychain, and then reboot.

    Clip from the above:
    Export the captive portal's SSL certificate with the following steps:
    Visit the captive portal page in Firefox Select Tools > Page Info > Security > View Certificate > Details > Export Save the certificate to your hard drive with the extension ".crt" You can import the certificate with the following steps:
    Open Keychain Access.app Drag the certificate from Finder into a keychain Double click on the certificate and expand the "Trust" section Choose "When using this certificate: Always Trust" Close the popup window.
    Some folks reported corrupted keychains from this problem; I have not had that issue but if you cannot open Keychain Access because your keychain is corrupted, turn off wireless, delete ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain and /Library/Keychains/System.keychain, and then reboot.

  • Trouble Connecting To Password Protected Networks

    Hello. I'm having trouble with the wireless side of life.
    I'm in Japan and I'm trying to connect to YahooBB wireless with my macbook. Everytime I enter the password, there is a message saying the connection has failed. I have also tried to connect wirelessly at work. I enter their password and I get the connection failed message. The only place I can connect is at the Apple Store which doesn't require a password.
    Could there be a reason as to why I can't connect with a password protected network? I correctly enter the passwords over and over again.
    Excuse me for such a silly question (I'm new to Mac) but...do I need to purchase Airport Express to connect at work or with YahooBB? I've always assumed there was no need.
    Thanks for your help.

    What's the difference between hex and ASCII?
    It is only how the information is presented. Humans can remember the ASCII string easier. The underying bits are the same. You can use tables like this one to convert back and forth between the ASCII characters and their hexadecimal representation.
    If you can, the best wireless encryption to use is WPA2. If you can't use WPA2, use WPA.
    128 bit WEP is very strong and adequate in most circumstances.
    64 bit WEP (sometimes called 40 bit WEP) is very weak and should be avoided.
    The type of encryption needs to be set on the wireless router (base station). Your Mac will then present you the correct dialog box to enter the password.

  • 3510 all in one having trouble connecting to new wireless network

    Ok - just to update, at least the drivers are downloadable now ... I'll see if that resolves my issue. 

    Hi guys.  I just switched to a new modem through my ISP (Rogers) that has a built in router and a much faster connection.  (Previously, this 3510 printer was working just fine over my network with a modem and a router that was separate.)  My computer is hooked into the internet via a direct cable and everyone else in the household connects via wireless, which has been set up and works well.  For some reason though, my 3510 refuses to play nice with the modem and connect to the network.   I've tried plugging it in via usb cable, then going into the settings and clicking on the "convert a usb connected printer to wireless" option.  I hit "yes, access the computer or router", then next, it finds my wireless network with no trouble and I type in the required password and "next" - it then takes a while to go through it's "setting up printer on network" .... and then after a while, I get a "MAC address filtering may be enabled on your wireless router" error.  There IS no MAC filtering.  I have "allow all" set on the router.  This shouldn't be an issue.   Has anyone else had this problem?  Is it just a thing with the newer modem/router combos and these older HP printers?  I tried to update the driver, but your website doesn't seem to be letting folks do that at the moment (some error you're fixing, it says?). If you have any suggestions on how I could get past this problem, I'd really appreciate it.  It's driving me NUTS.  Thanks!  All the best, -- Jodi

  • MacBook and TC trouble connecting wirelessly to PC network

    Linksys modem on a PC accepted my new MacBook just fine. Tried to install the TC (500GB) today. AirPort utility recognized the TC once, but when I tried to add it to the established network I apparently failed somewhere and the TC went away. Now AirPort Utility just doesn't recognize the TC no matter how many times I rescan, even when the Mac is sitting on top of it. The amber light keeps blinking which the ever-so-useful manual says is because there's not an ethernet plugged in. But this is obvious, as I'm not trying to connect the TC with an ethernet cable. Any ideas as to how to get the TC to be recognized by AirPort Utility?
    This being my first Mac I'm just still a little hazy on a lot of the interface.

    To try and be more precise, I repeated the process and recorded everything I did. Also, I've tried to install AirPort on the PC and work from there, but there's a .dll file missing and it won't even open.
    Here's the step-by-step.
    1. Open Time Machine Utility
    2. Prompted to Configure. Proceed to AirPort Utility
    3. Select TC on Left. Click Continue
    4. Name Time Capsule. Create Password
    5. Select "I have a wireless network and want to add Time Capsule or replace an existing device on my network" and Proceed.
    6. Select "I want Time Capsule to wirelessly join my current network."
    7. Prompted to choose a wireless network from a list. The only option is the one created with the name "Apple Network [Time Capsule Name]." So I type my current network name and enter password and Continue
    8. Given this summary:
    "TIme Capsule will use the settings below. Please make sure they are correct.
    Time Capsule Name: [My Name]'s Time Capsule
    Wireless Mode: Join an existing wireless network
    Network Name: [My current, working PC's network name]
    Wireless Security: [My security type]"
    I click update and get a prompt telling me that "This device and its network will be temporarily unavailable." I click continue and then the load circle appears with "Writing the TIme Capsule Configuration..."
    Error Screen Appears
    Repeating steps 1-6:
    7. Prompted to choose a wireless network. I select the one created by the TC under the name "Apple Network [Time Capsule name]."
    When I continue through the summary and try to restart the TC, it never restarts.
