I'm using a MacBook Pro 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo (System 10.5.5) and am having a particular problem connecting to an important network at my school. I can connect to just about any other open network except for this one.
The modems are in the classrooms, and so signal strength is not a problem. I can see the signal strength in the horizontal top bar, but when I log on to the network with my appropriate protocol, the Airport card seems to misinterpret the fact that I've requested 802.1X WEP. The software records that choice in the Preferred networks list, but the school's network person is seeing a different protocol at her end when she looks at my login attempts in her log. Does anyone know what's going on?
She writes:
"Ive just been told that our logs indicate youre trying to authenticate via EAP-TLS or PEAP, not 802.1x WEP or LEAP."
I'm not even sure I've ever been given LEAP as a choice on my MacBookPro. Does anyone know if I can find it and downlaod it in case it would solve this problem? Any other advice?
Thanks.
