A connection timeout occurred. I have been receiving this error when trying to connect to the open wifi connection at my university. My wifi works perfect when I am using it on my home network. I have tried all the suggestions in forums online no luck.

I am getting a connection timeout occurred message on my mid-2009 macbook pro I am running mountain lion 10.8.2 but problem occured before and after update. The message only happens when i attempt to connect to the wifi at my university. It works normal at my home. This error just started last semester out the blue. I have read many forums and non have helped ive reset my pram a few times, ive deleted all my networks including my home network out of my system preferences<network and all that extra stuff. if anyone has a clue please help me because one of my classes requires me to take in class test over the internet. Thanks for reading. If anyone can help PLEASE help ive been trying to fix for last few months.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

I found library and went to the preference. I did not see the systemconfiguration in that folder though.

You're looking in the wrong Library. In Finder menu click Go/Go To Folder and type in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration. If after deleting the .plist files that pertain to the WIFI config you still have issues with just the open networks at school, then you need to contact your school's IT department and ask what's up. That's what they're there for.
