You can't use WEP for EAP on the E71. You better use 802.1x and continue from there. Set EAP-PEAP as priority. Turn off (unmark) other protocols. Use EAP-MSCHAPv2.

Re: 802.1x (PEAP) over WEP solution?

As I wrote earlier, you can't use WEP and EAP in combination. Check this topic from Saataja to get a rough idea how to set up EAP-PEAP.

What you tell basuhan to do is to configure his phone with EAP-PEAP even though the network he want to connect to isn't supported. Are you trying to fool him?

As far as I understand from above, 802.1x over EAP (PEAP) with WEP encryption isn't possible from Nokia phones? This is unbelievably bad. A lot of company and university networks use that configuration, so how is it possible that Nokia didn't add support for that? All the other smart phone brands support it, like Android, iPhone and so on.

My company use a similar intranet WLan configuration as bastuhan try to access, and like him I'm not able to connect to it and access my work emails etc. Extremely annoying.

Nokia phones do support "dynamic WEP" encryption with 802.1X (EAP) authentication, which I suppose is what you're looking for to achieve.

 

You have to define your phone's IAP settings so that the "WLAN security mode" is set to 802.1X. After you have selected the 802.1X WLAN security mode go to the "WLAN Security settings" view and make sure that "EAP" authentication is selected (instead of Pre-shared key) and define your EAP plug-in settings just like you would be configuring them for the WPA/WPA2-EAP.

 

I guess 802.1X security mode (on Nokia phones) can be considered as an "legacy" compliant extension to the standards based WPA/WPA2 mode. And when 802.1X security mode is selected on the phone it will basically support both "EAP authenticated dynamic WEP" networks and at the same time this "802.1X" mode will also support the WPA/WPA2 networks (you can select EAP or Preshared Key).

 

Note that the WEP "WLAN security mode" is just for regular static WEP encryption, where user has to manually configure the WEP encryption key in to phone's settings (and same key must be on the WLAN AP/router). So WEP "WLAN security mode" is in no way not suitable for EAP/802.1X authenticated "dynamic WEP" security that you are asking for but you should select the 802.1X "WLAN security mode" on the phone and configure EAP plugin settings accordingly.
