What should I do if XpressConnect fails to connect with the error 'IP address was not acquired within the allotted time'?


A number of users have reported a problem with XpressConnect when they are trying to get set up to use eduroam (wifi) on campus. If you are affected by the issue, you will see an error message which says 'An IP Address was not acquired within the allotted time.'
