Wireless Configuration Directions for WinXP SP2

Click on the Ballon "one or more wireless networks are available."
you'll get this screen.

Click on "Change Advanced settings."
You'll get this screen.

Click on "Wireless Networks"

click on "Add."
which brings up this screen.

Make sure this matches. We're using WPA and TKIP as our Authentication and Data Encryption. (ie. Data Encryption is checked, and the key is provided for me automatically is checked and everything else is unchecked. You will probably need to type in bloomu for the Network Name (SSID) to tell windows which network to connect to.)
Click on the "Authentication" tab.
This is the major screen to configure your laptop to talk to our network.

You must enable "IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network." You must also choose "Protected EAP (PEAP)"
(note: 'smart card or certificate' is default and is NOT compatable with our EAP methods.)
Unclick on: "Authenticate as computer when computer information is available."
Then click on "Properties" for more settings.
This is the "Protected EAP Properties" screen.

Make sure to check "Validate Server Certificate."
Make sure the Authentication Method is: "Secured Password (EAP-MSCHAP v2)" is selected and "Enable Fast Reconnect" is unchecked.
Click on "Configure",
which brings up the "EAP MSCHAPv2 Properties" screen.

uncheck "Automatically use my Windows logon name and password (and domain if any)"
Click OK
Click OK Again
Click OK Again
Click OK one more time.
You should be back to your desktop.
You'll get this bubble again.

Click on the Ballon "one or more wireless networks are available"
you'll get this screen.

Highlight bloomu And then this time, Click on "Connect."
You should get this bubble instead:

Click on the Ballon "Click here to select a certification or other credentials..."
and get this screen.

Here is where you finally log into the network using your "MyMail" Account.
Your "User Name" is your "User ID" from your "MyMail" account. (or your "BUAD" for faculty and staff)
Your "Password is your current password from your "MyMail" account. (or your "BUAD" password for faculty and staff.)
"Logon Domain" is always "STUDENT" for all students.
and "Logon Domain" is always "BUAD" for all Faculty and Staff.
You'll get one more screen, asking to "Ok" our Server Certificate.

after you click ok, you should get a small bubble about "being connected to Network: bloomu."
Faculty and Staff Only: You should be ready to use the campus network and internet.
Go ahead and load up your Internet Web Browser (for most, it is Microsoft Internet Explorer) and go to the library website: http://library.bloomu.edu for access to all our online resources.
