The registration seemed to fail. But, then it seemed to be all OK and registered the next time I tried it maybe 5 or 10 minutes later. The attempt that claimed to fail was clearly a first attempt to register it, since I had just acquired the device and it was the fist time I had turned it on anywhere near campus. Anyway, it seems to work now with no problem. ////jerry > > > >If a failed registration can complete successfully in under .5 ms.... > why does a successful registration complete successfully in, oh, > say, 3 minutes? > > > >Things that make you go Hmmmm. > > > >-dak > > > >-----Original Message----- > >From: Doug Nelson [mailto:[log in to unmask]] > >Sent: Friday, February 11, 2011 11:00 AM > >To: [log in to unmask] > >Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] Android wireless registration? > > > >On Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 09:08:44AM -0500, Alexander Hawley wrote: > > > >> Greetings, > >> > >> Having trouble registering mobile (Android OS) on MSU wireless. > >> > >> Got app to handle browser-based authentication (WiFi Browser Login). > >> > >> Can get IP, can sign in. > >> > >> Cannot register. > >> > >> No way to register mobile MAC from another computer.
