Hey guys,

I cant seem to connect to MacSecure through windows 8. I haven't tried a windows 7 laptop but when I follow the steps for windows 7 it takes me into a login screen and I type my MacID and Password (as said in the steps) and then it just doesn't do anything and ask for the login again. When I try to connect again it lags and just says connecting, then it will disconnect.

Please let me know asap

Thank you,

Girish K.

I dont think this is a Windows 8 problem, as much as it is A McMaster Wifi problem. I was able to connect to both MacSecure and MacConnect last year on my Windows 8 laptop, but there were many times where neither would connect for me. At times when it would connect, it would take up to 5 minutes to load a page. McMaster has terrible campus wifi, and there are a huge amount of complaints about the connectivity. Best bet is to either find a room in MDCL, or the Mills library commons never had bad wifi when i went there! It became just about the only place I was able to study due to the rest of the campus being a dark spot for my comp connecting. Hope this helps!

I managed to fix the problem. I guess with Windows 8 you dont need to manually add the network and stuff like that for windows 7 until after you have connected. All you have to do (For those having this problem) is click connect and enter your MAC ID and password and then after you connect you have to right click MacSecure and go on "view connection properties" and then follow the steps on this website and make sure to add both Thawte Premium Server CA and thawte Primary Roothttp://www.mcmaster.ca/uts/connectio...a_win7_wpa.htm

This worked for my windows 8 and MacSecure is working like a charm
