Wireless Conundrum
Yesterday evening i tried for about an hour to get my personal laptop ( Dell Inspirion 510m 1.6 Centrino) onto the wireless network at my Uni. but failed miserably. I used their help guide and everything else i know (am on placement as an I.T. Helpdesk support). The only thing i can say is that when i got home it worked instantly on my home wireless network (wanadoo router)
At uni:
- I disabled windows firewall
- I disabled McAffe firewall
- I did have DHCP enabled
- I could see the network
- I could not connect
- Signal stength was Optimal
- Could not do an IP renew or config because it came back with no media connected (because i was not connected to the network yet)
- I toggled between B and G frequencies finally setting it accept both again
- I toggled between Infrastructure access points and ad hoc finally returning to either
- Rebooted about 5 times to make sure settings took effect
- Repairs on the connection failed due to no IP address.
The uni use a unsecured network. Hope this helps :) - I certainly can't figure out what i haven't tried :) !!!
Any Ideas ?

I suspect it worked at home because you don't have any form of encryption set up on your router.
