BishopNet Wireless Network Access

Connecting to the Campus Wireless Network with Windows Vista

1. If you are unable to use the BishopNet automatic configuration utility, please follow these manual connection directions -- after you have reset your OWU password, if necessary. Go back and see if you need to reset your OWU password.
2. To configure your computer's wireless network setting, first make sure your wireless card is turned on and enabled. Next, right-click the "Network" icon in the system tray (the computer-and-globe icon in the lower-right corner of the desktop). Then click Connect to a network.
3. In the "Connect to a network" box, click BishopNet to highlight it, then click the Connect button. (Note: If BishopNet does not appear, double-check that your wireless card is on and enabled. Also, make sure you are within range of the campus wireless network inside an OWU building.)
4. Click Enter/select additional log on information.
5. In the "Enter Credentials" box, type in your OWU username and password, leaving Logon domain blank. Then click OK.
6. The "Connect to a network" box will appear again. Click Enter/select additional log on information once more, and a "Validate Server Certificate" box will appear. Click OK.
7. You should be successfully connected to BishopNet. Be sure to click both the Save this network and Start this connection automatically checkboxes. Then click Close.
8. If you are a student, surf over to http://wifi.owu.edu/ -- or, if you are a faculty or staff member, go to http://wifi2.owu.edu/ -- to finish your registration. You will be asked for your OWU username and password one more time. Once you complete and Submit this, you should be online with BishopNet.
