3. Select the "Network and Sharing Center" category:
   
4. Select "Manage wireless networks" from the left-hand menu:

   The "Connect to a wireless network wizard" will begin:

      • Network name: UVM
      • Security type: WPA2-Enterprise
      • Encryption type: AES
      • Security Key/Passphrase:  [Leave blank]
      • Start this connection automatically:  [select]
      • Connect even if the network is not broadcasting: [de-select]
        
   3. The wizard should report "Successfully added UVM".  Select the "Change connection settings" option:
      
   4. The "UVM Wireless Network properties" dialog should appear.  Make the following changes to the default options:
      1. Under the "Connection" tab:
         • De-select "Connect to a more preferred network if available"
         • Make sure that "Connect automatically when this network is in range" is selected:
           
      2. Under the "Security" tab:
         1. Under "Choose a network authentication method:", make sure "Microsoft: Protected EAP (PEAP) is specified, then click "Settings":
            
         2. The "Protected EAP Properties" dialog will appear.  Make the following changes:

            • Under "Select Authentication Method:", "Secured password (EAP-MSCHAP v2)" should be selected.  Click the "Configure" button.
              Note: If you do not see "Equifax Secure Certificate Authority" displayed in the list of available certificates, you will first need to download and install the Equifax root certificate which is available from the Utilities page of this documentation.

              • Click "OK" to clear the "EAP MSCHAPv2 Properties" dialog.
            • Click "OK" to clear the "Protected EAP Properties" dialog.
