WPA Enterprise on HTC Touch 3G

Posted on by

HTC Touch 3G supports WPA and WPA2 authentication. However, if you don’t have a certificate authority properly set up and you’re using PEAP (instead of personal certificates) for authentication, things tend to get messy. In order to make it work you need to:

  • Hack into the registry (I use Dotfred’s Task Manager) and add a new key (making your device not check server certificate’s validity – which fails since it’s usually self-signed): 
    HKLM\Comm\EAP\Extension\25\ValidateServerCert = DWORD:00000000
  • Add a new connection:
    • Enter SSID (network name), connection type and SSID visibility
    • Select WPA2 authentication and AES encryption
    • Select EAP: PEAP – Do not bother trying to access the PEAP properties, you will be presented with an error: Cannot log on to the network. This network requires a personal certificate to positively identify you.
    • Click Finish
  • You will be prompted to login using an username, password and domain. If you’re having problem authenticating, leave the domain blank and rather put user@domain.tld in username to specify it

That’s about it, happy browsing!

Everybody is talking about it: the iPhone 3G was officially announced. And although until now I tried to stay out of this frenzy, the new specs and availability to global markets is making it more and more appealing.

Of course, it took less than a couple of hours for Nokia fanboys to raise their voice. And since the tech specs are pretty much hard to top, they picked on the price.

So, is the new iPhone more expensive? Continue reading →

In the spirit of Engadget’s Keepin’ It Real… Fake: the iTouch Phone – so cleverly advertised on GMail:

Now at 50% discount = half price (for the mathematically impaired).

In stock! Limited offer! (I mean seriously, how many idiots could there be? I’m just taking an optimistic guess their number is finite.)

Cristi, weren’t you on the market for a replacement for your iPhone?

Eye-Fi Wireless SD CardNow this is SD 2.0: Eye-Fi, an SD card with WiFi so you can copy your pictures from your camera without removing the card.

The card comes with custom software which installs on your computer and detects when the card is connected to the same network. Then you can copy pictures to your computer and even upload them to different photo sharing and social networking sites.

Of course, there are a couple of hacks, most notably those by Dave Hansen.

The card is already in stock at Amazon for $99 (2GB).
