Connecting wireless to the eduroam network using PEAP authentication on Windows XP

Before you begin The following instruction is supported by the TU Delft and has been tested to be working. If you have a configuration other than the one described here, we cant guarantee that you will be able to make a successful connection. Note to employees Laptops provided by the TU are configured to automatically connect with the DASTUD domain and when in reach will always connect with the wireless network: tudelft-dastud. When this doesnt happen on your TU laptop, please contact your Servicepoint. It is recommended to work using the tudelft-dastud network since this network offers the same functionality as youd have if you would use a network cable (startup scripts, drivemappings, etc.). In case the tudelft-dastud network isnt available, you can follow this manual to connect with the Eduroam wireless network in order to get on the Internet. Prerequisites In order to make a successful connection, make sure that all your wireless hardware is installed, switched on and managed by Windows and that you have the latest updates for Windows installed (including Service Pack 3). If you can find the following icon in the right hand corner at the bottom of your screen, Windows is managing your connections:

If you cant find this icon, but you can see an icon looking a bit similar, you probably have software from a third party managing your wireless network connections. This manual however will only describe how to configure things in Windows. If you choose to follow this manual, make sure to disable or uninstall any third party software for managing wireless connections before you proceed. Note: this manual is made with the standard Windows Firewall switched on.
