[OSX-Users] Re: iPhone 3.0 ...

[Terry Payne]

I've been using eduroam up in liverpool for several months now, with  
no problem (both on iphone and mbp).  However, when I was down in  
Soton I couldn't get it working.  I *do* have to use the main  
university account, rather than the departmental account (like soton,  
we have two - liv.ac.uk (campus) and csc.liv.ac.uk (dept)).

I also had a student (postgrad) from Soton up here for a visit last  
month but she couldn't log in using Eduroam.  Called iSolutions in  
case she needed to register or something, but they couldn't help (in  
fact they were clueless)!
