I seriously doubt the mode should be Ad-Hoc. Change it to Managed.
I also hope you didn't post the actual encryption key for their system, they may not like you very much for that. |
if you also post out the configuration u'r using, we may extend better help. and it looks like you're trying to use DHCP, is the same used in your college?
