I know this is a recurring issue and I have certainly gone through most of the threads regarding that but I have to ask; Does the P1i accept WPA-AES(PSK)?
I have tried on numerous times to connect on this but it all fails.
It does connect on WEP, WPA-TKIP or no security at all!
Whats with WPA2 that I keep reading about? I have the impression its the same as WPA-AES(PSK), yet mine would not connect using that security, even if power save is disabled!
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated as I am reluctant to compromise on my network security in order to accomodate my P1i.

Nipsen, I would appreciate your help on this. My university wireless network has the following security:
WPA Enterprise
Data Encryption: TKIP
Infrastructure
EAP type: PEAP
Authentication Method: EAP-MACHAP v2
Also a validation of server certificate I think Equifax Aruba networks also I think 802.1x authentication is needed, after looking at the links I have provided below.
Here is a link to the university's instructions on the wlan setup:
for windows xp:

for max osx:
http://www.infoservices.neu.e[....]es/helpdocuments/nuwaveosx.pdf
When I try to connect it just says connecting for a long time, then connection failed. I look at the incoming and outgoing data and both are 0KB. Does P1i support this encryption 802.1x? How do I get the p1 to accept the equifax certificate. I looked under security of p1 and see that equifax is there, but does aruba network certificate under equifax need to be there also. Your help is greatly appreciated.

I've no idea. Best guess - try mailing your support- dudes, and get them to issue you a certificate (and a specific list of settings to use)
. Btw, if you're supposed to use a domain, I think you can do that by writing
username@domain, in the username field.
If it is that - that the wlan- thing can't seem to be fed custom certificates for already existing ones - you've found another thing for the SE engineers to look at (mwhahahah).

Nipsen, vbnmu,
Have you got any ideas about the p1i and the WPA=AES(PSK) issue. I am not able to connect to my office network using the same ocnfiguration but my colleague using Windows mobile 6 connects easily
grrrr..
thanks in advance

...who knows? We need a bit more data, I think. Is your connection to the AP rejected right away? Can you connect, but then can't transfer any data? Can you tell if you're not validated at the server, and that the connection dialogue stalls (..maybe the non- standard certificates problem? Which means you need an issuing certificate installed on the phone before you can use the logon). Is the AP set to use cts/rts very often?

Nipsen,
Wow! Ok. What I know so far by speaking to the IT support at my office:
1) They have a wireless using WPA-PSK with AP's throughout the building
2) These use the 802.11b protocol and go to 802.11g only when b is not available.
3) No proxy.
4) There is a passphrase.
5) This wireless is a guest wireless which signifies its pretty open. It is not a WPA2, though we have that too.
Now what I need to know:
1) What kind of information should I ask them or try to find out to connect using the WPA-PSK and the WPA2?
All I know so far is that I enter the WPA Personal key and it tries to connect and then says Connection Failed. No log nothing. It scans the connections fine though.
Please help me ask my IT support the right questions o I cna provide you the info or troubleshoot it myself.
I tried SE support today and the person said that WPA Personal is not the same as WPA-PSK and therefore is not suported by the p1i. However Wikipedia says they are the same.??? I don't understand how SE support can be so poorly trained?

Maybe they enjoy provoking people?
Anyway.. Best (wild) guess - you're using mixed mode on your server, running a pre- shared key (PSK) with the periodic renewal (tkip - temporal key integrity protocol), and a wpa2 mode of some sort. And when you connect, the p1 defaults to the strongest encryption scheme (aes - "advanced" encryption standard), and will never validate the key it's supposed to be using, or receive the predicted responses from the server. Probably some sort of inventive use of "get capabilities" from the ssid going on.. (not that this is only SE who screws up things like that).
Because the p1 supports either wpa with tkip/aes or radius, or wep with psk on it's own (personal/enterprise isn't any sort of standard). Most likely the WM unit connects fine because it defaults to tkip when the other mode fails.
Mm.. so, if you can confirm that the server is running in mixed mode, that would be great.

Nipsen,
When I said we also have WPA2, I meant the WPA2 is a different wireless network not the one I'm trying to connect to. Sorry for the confusion.
By mixed mode, I think you mean AES/TKID or 802.11b/802.11g ??
I'll find out about both and let you know. From what I know the person with WM has set it to AES.
tks
