Enter your e-ID and password, then click OK.



You may be prompted to accept the authentication server’s certificate again. Click the Connect button to proceed.

It may take several seconds for your computer to acquire an IP address, during which time Windows may show JMU-Official-Wireless as Limited in the Wi-Fi networks list.

If you are not sure if your computer is joined to Active Directory, leave the box unchecked and click on OK.




This will return you to the Protected EAP Properties window. Click on OK.




This will return you to the Wireless Network Properties window. Click on OK.

You may close the Network Connections window and Settings app.



You will then be prompted for your username and password. Enter your e-ID and password, then click OK. If your computer is joined to Active Directory you may not receive this prompt.
