Using Ipod Touch to connect to internet.

cacamilis

Hey
I got an ipod touch but can't seem to access the internet on campus.
I have tried in the arts block and although in the settings it says it is connect when I go to actually use the safari internet explorer thingy it says safari not connected.

Does anyone on here use their ipod touch in Maynooth? Is their anything more I can do?

thanks in advance.

yeah i use my in there but you'll need to either jailbreak it first or have the software upgrade i.e. Mail, Weather, etc.

You have to go to Settings>Network>VPN and configure that with:
Server Name: NUIMWireless
Username: (Student account)
Password: (Student Password)

and then set the proxy address of Safari to Auto and enter: http://proxy.nuim.ie:8010

settings from my iphone :

under vpn settings :

type : PPTP
Server : nuimwireless
account : <student number>
RSA SecurID : off
password : your moodle password
Encryption level : auto
send all traffic : on

Proxy : Auto
http://proxy.nuim.ie:8010

connect over wifi to nuimwireless then turn the vpn slider in settings to on, it will connect and safari will work

I can't get to the settings>network part. Do you mean settings>wifi? but then there's no option for vpn. we need the details for either, dhcp, bootP or static.

Do you have the Mail app on your iPod cause you need this to have the network option in settings?

Aha! Nope. Do I have to get the new package of the iphone apps to get the mail one?

maybe when the hacked 114 versionis out i'll have it.

Hi guys does anyone know how to set up the mail application in their iPhone 3g to receive mail from myce.nuim.ie. Rather than using safari to access it via the website. Cheers. Phil
