Configure network settings on your PC

  • Press the Windows key and the R key simultaneously.

  • Then click on “OK”.
  • Select Dienste „Dienste (Lokal)“
  • Right-click on „Automatische Konfiguration (verkabelt)“
  • Click on “Eigenschaften”
  • Select “Automatisch” as the startup type if you want the service to start after every restart. Keep in mind that this may not always be desired – for example, if you also want to use other cable network connections. So the only important thing is that the service has been started, the startup type plays a subordinate role.

  • Click with the right mouse button on the network port of your computer, which you want to use (usually Ethernet).
  • Click on “Eigenschaften”.
  • Now go to the „Authentifizierung“ tab. Note that this can only be displayed if the above mentioned service has been started. Now change the settings according to the screenshot.
  • Click on the “Eigenschaften”button (marker 6).
  • Check the boxes at 1 and 2 as shown in the screenshot.
  • Select „Gesichertes Kennwort (EAP-MSCHAP v2)“ as authentication method.
  • Click on „Konfigurieren…“.
  • The check mark must not be set.
  • Click on “OK”.
  • Click “OK” in the previous window.
  • Select the „Authentifizierung“ tab.
  • Click on „Zusätzliche Einstellungen“.
