Wireless

Coverage

The wireless access point for the HLP Lab is in Meliora 123. Within the lab there is a pretty strong signal, but if you are anywhere else, use the University's wireless.

Connecting

SSID: hlplab
Security: WPA2 Enterprise

Mac OS X

Select hlplab from the available wireless networks
When prompted, enter the username and password you would use to log into any of the computers in the lab
The first time you connect, it will complain about a self-signed certificate. Just click "continue" to accept it.

Linux

Should be quite similar to Mac OS X, but I don't have a computer handy with Linux. Maybe Ting could help after the break?

Windows XP

Unfortunately, it is much, much harder to do in Windows.

From the Start Menu go to Connect To and select Wireless Network Connection
Select hlplab from the available wireless networks and click Connect. It will probably fail because Windows tries to connect to WPA2 Enterprise networks the wrong way (unless the authentication server is running Windows).
Click on "Change advanced settings"
Select the Wireless Networks tab, then select hlplab and click the Properties button.
1. On the Association tab, make sure "Network Authentication" is WPA2 and "Data encryption" is AES.
2. On the Authentication tab, make sure "EAP type" is "Protected EAP (PEAP)" and click "Properties"
  1. Uncheck "Validate server certificate"
  2. Under "Select Authentication Method", select "Secured password (EAP-MSCHAP v2)" and click "Configure..." and in the dialog box, uncheck "Automatically use my Windows logon name and password (and domain if any)"
Try connecting again. This time it should prompt for your username and password. Use the login you would use for any of the computers in the lab.
