Just got my n800 and love it. Unfortunately, I'm unable to access the WIFI at my work. I
think
it's a WPA2 connection, but I can't be positive. The wierd thing is, my n800 saw it right away as an unlocked connection and I was able to connect without issue. Nothing worked of course.
So, following some instructions from previous threads, I went to "connectivity settings" and edited the now saved connection. By default it was setup as "Ad hoc" so I changed it to Infrastructure (only did this so I could select WPA with EAP). Then, I set EAP type to PEAP (who knows why). EAP method=EAP MSCHAPv2 (???). Entered in my username as DOMAIN\USERNAME and password. Finish.
Now, when I go to "Select connection", this connection isn't listed anymore!!! Where did it go? Is there a way to force a connection to my newly saved settings without scanning for it first?
I also got ahold of some certificate that I think I probably need (not sure why) and installed it without issue on my n800.
Questions.
1. As you can probably tell, I'm a bit lost here. Is this supposed to work?
2. Any idea what i'm doing wrong/right?
3. How can I find out exactly what type of network I have at the office? Is there some sort of network utility I can install on my Vista PC that shows me all the settings? PEAP/EAS/TKIP? (I have no idea what all these acronyms are!)
Thanks so much for any guidance.
