Before you Begin
Enabling
802.1x authentication in Windows XP for the Rowan Wireless
Network is a process you will only need to complete once.
Windows XP ships with a built-in 802.1x client that is accessible
from the Network Properties dialogs. Before beginning this
setup, please visit Windows
Update and make sure your machine is fully up-to-date
with all service packs and patches. You MUST be running Windows
XP Service Pack 2.
Step
by Step Instructions
The
first step in setting up your wireless card for 802.1x is
to open up your Network Connections window.
You can find this by going to the Start menu, selecting the
"Connect To" item, then selecting
"Show all connections" from the
submenu.
Once
you have selected "Show all connections",
you should see a window similar to the one below:
Double-Click the Wireless Network Connection
icon.
From
here, click on the "Wireless Networks"
tab to continue.
PLEASE
NOTE: If you do not have a "Wireless Networks"
tab in your Properties box, it is possible that the setup
software for your wireless card has disabled the Wireless
Zero Config service. To
re-enable this service, follow the instructions here.
In
this window, make sure the "Use Windows to configure
my wireless network settings" option is checked.
This allows Windows to choose the wireless network to connect
to as well as perform the 802.1x authentication.
You
should see "RowanWPA" listed in
the "Available networks" box, as
seen above. If you are not in range of a wireless access
point you can click Add and enter "RowanWPA" manually.
Select
RowanWPA and then click Properties
Make
sure that Network Authentication is set to
WPA2 and Data encryption
is set to AES
Click
the Authentication Tab
Select
Protected EAP (PEAP) from the EAP type drop-down
box.
Uncheck
"Authenticate as computer..."
In
the Select Authentication Method drop-down box make sure that
"Secured password (EAP-MSCHAP v2)"
is selected.
Click
Configure
Uncheck
"Automatically use my Windows..."
Click
OK and Close until all windows are closed.
At
the bottom of the screen you should get a pop-up balloon that
says "Click here...",
click on the balloon.
You
should then see a box asking for User name, Password and Logon
Domain.
Enter
your Rowan Network username and password. Leave the Logon
domain blank.
Click
OK and Windows will log you into the new RowanWPA network.
Once
you have logged in successfully, your "Wireless Network
Connection" entry in your "Network Connections"
window should say "Authentication succeeded", as
