Introduction:

ETSU wireless access points are available to ETSU students, faculty, and staff. If you have a wireless adapter (wireless card) in your computer, you will be able to connect to the ETSU network via a wireless connection. Security for all ETSU Wireless Access Points is enabled by PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol).

If you are trying to connect to an ETSU wireless access point with your personal computer, please use the following instructions.

Windows Vista Systems:

1. Click on the Windows button and click on Connect To. You should get the screen below.
   
   If you do not see a listing for the ETSU network, you are probably not in range of the network.
2. Right-click on the ETSU entry. If there's a Properties option, click on it and then skip down to step #6. If you don't have Properties, click on Set up a connection or network.
3. 
   Choose the Manually connect to a wireless network option and then click on Next.
4. 
   Type in ETSU for the Network name, choose 802.1x for the Security type, and the Encryption type should be set to WEP for you automatically. Leave the Security Key/ Passphrase field blank. Be sure that the box labeled Start this connection automatically is checked. Click on Next.
5. 
   You'll get a screen that says that it successfully added ETSU. At this point, you need to click on Change connection settings. When the next screen comes up, click on the Security tab.
6. 
   
   On this sreen, be sure that the Security type is set to 802.1x and that the Encryption type is set to WEP. In the box under Choose a network authentication method:, be sure that's set to Protected EAP (PEAP). When those are set, click on the Settings button.
7. 
   On this screen, you need to uncheck Validate server certificate. Now click on the Configure button near the bottom.
8. 
   Be sure that this box is unchecked, then click on the OK button.
9. Click on the OK button to get out of the Protected EAP Properties screen. Then click on the OK button to get out of the ETSU properties screen.
   
   In the lower right-hand part of the screen, you should get a little bubble like what's shown above. Click on it to get the login prompt to come up.
10. 
    At this screen, simply enter your ETSU username, your password and use ETSU for the Logon domain. Click on the OK button.
11. 
    After a few seconds, you should get a screen similar to this that says that you're connected. If you get the authentication bubble again, it probably means that your password didn't work. Click on the bubble to try again.
