Re: Setting up PEAP connection at university

Havent posted in a while but still having this problem.
I tried every possibility I could think of and some tips from above but cant get it to work.

Best I got is error that says: "Certificate currently not valid. Check date and time settings." Then after I click done wlan icon flashes for a while anf then pops up authentication failed.

wlan.udgnet.udg.edu.me
this is what comes with error message.
Also I use ntpd for time and date and I'm sure it's correct...

Seems like wireless was down for a while and someone screwed it up a bit, will see if its fixed tomorrow

Re: Setting up PEAP connection at university

After almost 2 years of trying I give up, can't make this **** work.
And worst feeling is when guy with ****ing iphone sitting next to me can use it normally -.-

Re: Setting up PEAP connection at university

Please supply the info for your case, similar to what I provided in this post in this thread.

Just posting frustration without details makes it impossible to help you.

I found setting my N900 up was *much* easier than previous Symbian-based phones.

The error message you get I have seen when I didn't have the CA cert (that issued the RADIUS servers certificate) installed, but it didn't prevent authentication from working (iPhone doesn't give this error message, but rather a one-time certificate acceptance dialog, as it has some less-than-ideal security defaults).

Re: Setting up PEAP connection at university

I will try in september when I get back to uni. But I'm not really an advanced user, I'm not total newbie but whatever I need I find one way or the other but this has been annoying me for very long time and in times when i was angry I came here :/

Certificate is probably missing or not working or something IDK, I know our security is ****, same for email where I have to press I understand the risk etc(also couldn't make exchange mail from uni work hmm)

Re: Try from the settings menu, not from the applet

I use my N900 on the wireless setup at work (which I was involved in implementing, and Windows XP really has some issues with WPA2-Enterprise ...) without problems (with PEAP MSCHAPv2).

However, it didn't work correctly if I added the wireless network from the applet, whereas adding it from Settings->Internet connections->Connections just worked without any fuss (and the additional input it requires of a manually added connection name, but it shows the list of available WLANs at the next step, picks PEAP automatically, you just need to change GTC to MSCHAP during the wizard).

So, please try adding it from Settings->Internet connections.

There may be an obscure bug here, and it may be worthwhile reporting.

I tried this and it failed. But then I went to "advanced" settings and selected "Use manual user name" and put in the same user name I had given before. This seems to work.
Moral: if the simple setup given above doesn't work for you, try this trick.
