Wireless Configuration for XP

• From the desktop, click on the Start button, and select Control Panel. (On some systems, the Control Panel is reached via Settings).
• In the top left of the Control Panel window, select Network Connections. (If this icon is not available, the Control Panel may be set to Category view. To fix this, click on the Switch to Classic View in the upper left corner of the window.)
• Double-click on the icon for your wireless adapter (Usually called "Wireless Network Connection").
• In the bottom left of the window, select Change Advanced Settings.
• At the top of the window, select the Wireless Networks tab. (No wireless tab? Click here)
• Make sure there is a check in the box for "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings."
• In the "Preferred networks" box, double-click "slunet." If present, skip steps 1-2 below.
  1. Click the Add button near the bottom.
  2. In the Network name (SSID) field, type in "slunet" (No quotes).
• From the Association tab, change the settings to look as follows:

• Select the Authentication tab. Change the settings to look as follows:

• Click on the Properties button. Change the settings to look as follows:

• Click on the Configure button.
• Uncheck "Automatically use my Windows logon name and password (and domain if any)."
• Click OK until all windows are closed (You can click the red "X" for the Network Connections window). You should see a balloon in the bottom right of your desktop which reads "Click here to select a certificate or other credentials for connection to the network slunet." Click on the balloon.
  1. User Name field: type your SLU e-mail without @slu.edu.
  2. Password field: type in your new SLUNET ID password.
  3. Leave the Logon domain field blank.  Click OK.

You should be connected to the wireless network. If the Certificate balloon reappears, then you've most likely entered the wrong password. Not sure what it is? Try logging into Banner here. The password you use to login to Banner is the same as the password for your wireless connection.

Still not connected?
