I have internet at school, but i cannot connect because i've tried entering a password in before, and they changed the password. So now when i try and connect, it will just fail to connect and not ask me to enter the password in for the network.

Ive tried to connect to the school wi-fi before, and it failed. now i just got given the password and i can't even connect to it, because it won't give me the enter password option. And i can't even forget the network because its not saved on my mac!

So now whenever im at school, it will try and attempt to connect to the school wifi, but always fail due to an issue? and i don't have the option to re-enter password! Even tho the network isnt saved on my macbook!

PLEASE HELP!

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

I know your question is solved, but I just connected to my school internet and I had to use certain proxies and enter my passwords in there. I think it was Web Proxy and Secure HTTPS (they were next to eachother)


I have to enter proxy.det.nsw.edu.au 8080 and my DET internet username and password, though it may be different for your school. I also have to turn these off when I get home to connect to my own wireless.

Nyxaelia, you can create a new Location in the Network System Prefs where you could have one setup for school and one setup for home. When you have more than one Location in Network, you will get a Locations menu in the Apple Menu where you can switch easily between the two.


On the Location popup menu, select Edit Locations. Select Automatic, then select Duplicate Location from the gear menu button. Rename each one for the specific location, and set each one up as required.
