That's the most common problem users have with IT.
- crankylinuxuser 8y agoYep, and since he was one of the senior faculty teaching engineering (that the uni started the new program for within the last 4 years), he's immune to these kinds of "we'll fire you if you do X it thing". He needed not wpa2 enterprise wireless. WPA2 personal would have sufficed for his robotics... but "Policies". When he asked how to proceed, IT-Networks responded with "We dont tell people how to do their networking. We enforce policy." He had contacts in IT (my director), and put me to make it work. So I helped configure a better router, made sure DHCP and other protos wasn't leaking out the WAN, set a stupid long PSK. Took me .5h to get a good environment set up. And sure, it violated policy, but it was secure and enabled the prof to continue his swarming robotics experiments.
