Hi,

the network may have MAC address filtering/security enabled,
you may have to talk to your network administrator.

Good luck,

Dud.

I spoke to the administrator and he is explaining me that the iPOD Touch does not support 802.11 protocol and this is why I am not able to connect... do you have any suggestions?

Wait until June.
With 2.0 and the SDK, it might be added.

I posted a response to this 30 mins ago and it magically disappeared as have a number of my recent posts and i'm sure AAPL message was different when i posted.

Apple has included the 802.11x protocol in the 2.0 firmware update. When it comes out in late june you will have to pay for the update but then you will be able to connect to your company network.

You're right Dibbler!

That's weird! Thought I had been working too hard today!

Posts changing and disappearing, spooky.

Yeah, I was being snippy this morning after three days straight of a fever and no sleep.
So...I changed it to be somewhat helpful.

For some reason a number of my posts have disappeared on recent threads the past week or so and a couple of the threads have suddenly been answered with the post that was put up before my disappearing one. Which I know wasn't there. Hmmmm..... What is going on?

AAPL that still doesnt explain as to why my message completely disappeared. I actually received a message saying i didn't have permission to view the thread. The message lasted about 30 seconds.
