In order to connect to the AgronneX-auth wireless on site from a VISTA machine, the following must first be configured:

First, open the Network and Sharing Center and on the left hand side, select "Manage Wireless Networks".

Click the "Add" button and choose "Manually create a network profile".

Enter the network name as either "ArgonneG-auth" or "ArgonneA-auth" depending on your wireless card capabilities.

The Security type will be WPA2-Enterprise and the Encryption type will be AES. Click on the "next" button.

The next window will say that you've "Successfully added <wireless_access_name>".. (They lied).

Click on "Change connection settings".

Then select the "Security tab".

Make sure the network authentication method is Protected EAP (PEAP) and choose "settings".

Uncheck the "Validate server certificate" box.

Then click on the settings box under "Select Authentication Method".

De-select "Automatically use.. blah blah blah". Click "ok", "ok", and one more "ok".

After a few seconds a box should appear asking for your credentials. Enter your MCS Username and MCS login password. Click ok.

You are NOW connected to the ArgonneX-auth network.
