Cant connect to WPA-AES with airport!

[bototucuxi]

Hello,

I have a Powerbook G4 MAC OSX 10.3.6.

I have always used its airport to connect to wireless networks in various points. These wireless networks were open to everybody.

However I started working in a place where they use the standard encryption AES. I have upgraded my airport software to 4.2 but I am not sucessfull to establish a connection to the WPA-AES wireless network of my university. No one knows what to do and I dont know also what to do to connect to that network with this mac.

Hope an help from you people.

I had the same problem at a college a week ago. I fixed it by going into network preferences and "trusting" everything that had something to do with their certificates. That should get you up.. One thing i did notice.. I would have a self assigned ip address sometimes, and have to turn the airport on and off a few times until it pulled an ip.

Are you getting any kind of an error? Several people at the forum i was attending had this same problem and fixed it the same way.

The netwrok preferences i have here bin my mac is useless because it does not give options or advanced options where we can choose the certficates like AES...

I feel your pain here.

I have a Cisco AP probably the same as what your school is using, if I configure it with WPA2-Personal, (AES or TKIP doesn't matter) my PC's connect fine, my iMac and iPod Touch do not. For no reason, there were a few discussions over on Cisco.com about it.

I have reverted my network to WPA as opposed to WPA2 for now to get around it, but i'm still looking for a solution.
