connecting to school wi-fi but getting stuck

[DarkManX]

my school has finally opened up their wifi network and gave us the key, when I put it in and connect the status changes to "automatic" and i cant do anything from there, they support people weren't able to help me either, does anyone here know of anythin I can do to try to resolve this? I have no security software installed on this computer at all, and when im home i have no trouble connecting to my wifi network.

what changes to "automatic"?

when i put in the key and connect, it says "waiting for network" for a bit then it just changes the status to automatic.

I assume you clicked the connect button? Try repairing the connection once you have it configured. (Right click the adapter icon in Network Connections and click repair)

i tried to repair, no luck

You're settings (encryption type, authentication, etc) must EXACTLY match what the school provided.

What authentication/encryption are your using?

 

[DarkManX]

network autentication : wpa-psk
and data encryption : tkip

also after i type in the key which and connect it gets alot shorter when i try to reconnect, is that because of the encryption?

i actually just tried to change the encryption settings, but it seems like they keep defaulting to the original ones.
