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 can’t 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 doesn’t 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 you’d have if you would use a network cable (startup scripts, drivemappings, etc.). In case the
‘tudelft-dastud’ network isn’t 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 can’t 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.
