Hi, Erwin,

Thanks as always for your good work at Fiske and for your clear reports!

On your 2/7 item, I suspect there is something else going on.  There are computers where I've changed the screen saver resumption settings, to allow a much longer time and to turn off the password requirement.  (While thawed of course.)  The change of timeout seems to hold but the no-password setting doesn't work -- the box remains unchecked, but when the computer is idle and goes to screensaver you can't just resume with a mouse or keyboard wakeup, you still need to enter the password.  So I think it is something like Security Policy or the like overriding the Display Control Panel setting.  

On your 2/17 item, at schools that have had the wi-fi upgrade and are supposed to use the CPS network with individual INSTR authentication, the legacy CPSnnnnn network is treated as a "guest network".  That is, those computers can get basic Internet service but are not counted as internal to CPS -- so they cannot access sites like cps.k12.il.us and IMPACT, just as you suspected was the cause.  

Techco is not a recognized credential for the CPS wireless -- you need to use an INSTR (or ADMIN) login, and techco is instead a this-computer login.   It's irritating since you may need to log on to the computer as techco to do the setup, so if it is set to pass along the computer login as the wireless authentication, it's not going to work.  So then you can put in some INSTR credentials -- I don't know if INSTR\School3360 would work (that would be interesting to find out) but if not you would have to get a teacher to sign in to the CPS wireless.  

If you have the opportunity to put the computer on Ethernet even temporarily, besides clearing up the IMPACT and related issues for the duration of the Ethernet connection, it will provide the opportunity to access the school ADM01 and use resources there to fix up the wireless setup.   

I don't know if you were able to join our Google Docs share called "SCHOOL-ADM01 PROGRAMS".  I'll re-send the invitation.  But also I will try to upload to the Reporting Blog (or attach to this email) three of those resources.  There is a wireless info document from CPS as a scanned PDF, and installer program that would do the setup on an XP/SP3 CPS-compliant computer, and a file with the CPS root certificate as referenced in the setup instructions document.  

Thanks again,

  ==Mitch";s:12:"comment_type";s:0:"";s:14:"comment_parent";s:1:"0";s:7:"user_ID";s:1:"0";s:7:"user_ip";s:13:"128.135.4.224";s:10:"user_agent";s:100:"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/535.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/17.0.963.56 Safari/535.11";s:8:"referrer";s:51:"http://reporting.cuip3.org/2012/02/weeks-5-6-fiske/";s:4:"blog";s:26:"http://reporting.cuip3.org";s:9:"blog_lang";s:2:"en";s:12:"blog_charset";s:5:"UTF-8";s:9:"permalink";s:51:"http://reporting.cuip3.org/2012/02/weeks-5-6-fiske/";s:21:"akismet_comment_nonce";s:6:"passed";s:11:"POST_author";s:5:"mitch";s:10:"POST_email";s:17:"mmarks4@gmail.com";s:8:"POST_url";s:0:"";s:12:"POST_comment";s:2471:"(mailed and posted)
