The problem isn’t with entering a password. It’s that the MSUnet network doesn’t stay in the preferred networks list from session to session. If I connect to MSUnet and then reboot, I would expect my machine to automatically reconnect; However, I have to make a point of telling it to do so every time.

 


Ok, this is a real stupid question, but you are clicking the little box next to the network in the listing of wireless networks available that says something like "always connect" or something like that?  (Sorry, don't have one in front of me to look).  All the ones that I've set up remembered the network as long as I did that.

You can now register your computer via wireless connection at dhcp.msu.edu.  Then you don't have to have it remember a password.

I'm pretty sure it works on the main campus.   It worked at KBS for about one day after it was implemented before Thanksgiving, and now doesn't.  But one of the grad students checked it out for us on the main campus just this week, and reported that it's working fine there.

Interesting.
Wonder if we have some sort of GPO causing a problem? Our machines seem to remember all other networks except MSUnet …

My Windows 7 installation remembers the MSUnet Wireless without a problem!

Just wondering whether anyone knows a way to prevent Windows7 from forgetting the MSUnet wireless network? For some reason,it doesn’t stay in the preferred networks list … Is that because it’s unsecured?
 
Thanks,
