University Wifi

I realise there's been a few threads about this in the past but most of those I can fine are so old as to be out of date. I'm trying to connect to uni wifi by downloading and installing the eurodam software provided by IT but it crashes during the installtion process every time. Is this a common problem or is my comp fairly unique in this respect? If so could anybody reccomend alternative software? ( I'm ussuming standard wireless software will not be suitable).

Before we can go any further with this everybody is going to ask the same question.

What sort of computer are you using (Laptop I assume) and what is the operating system (

OS X: Jaguar or Tiger or Leopard or Snow Leopard,

Windows: 3.1 or 95 or 98 or Me 0r 2000 or XP or Vista,

Linux: if you know what linux is then you shouldn't need help in this thread should you)

on your machine.

Also quick search of UNIs its's webpages gives me this:

http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/itsold/software/free/wireless.shtml

Does this help.

If he's running Jaguar, possibly Panther, 3.1, 95, 98 or ME he's pretty much fucked. If he's running Snow Leopard he's an Apple developer.

The SecureW2 installer only works properly when WZC has control of the wireless adapter. If you have some other software controlling the wireless connection, get rid of it before trying to run the SecureW2 installer.

It appears that the software supplied with some very recent wireless adapters may already include the necessary supplicant to allow eduroam to work without needing WZC and SecureW2: If this is the case, you'll still need to install the St Andrews certificate, set the default connection to eduroam, and set the default domain as st-andrews.ac.uk.
