Thanks. I've got access to possibly two other iPod Touch devices that I'll try tomorrow. For what it is worth, we have Cisco 1142 APs, with a/g/n radios active.

Thanks Bill, but you understood correctly the first go-round - I can't connect AT ALL. I've connected numerous other Windows based devices via manual setup with little to no problem, so I know the settings are correct... Jonathan L.

I thought you meant you could not connect to it at all. Are you saying that it has problems staying connected or re-connecting? If so, there is a known issue where you have a dual-band wi-fi router. If that is the situation, there is a workaround at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3304.

Bill, You must have a different software version, or just better luck. I've tried numerous times and it simply won't work. Here's someone else who has had the same problem, but resetting their network seemed to resolve the issue - not for me, though (next to the last post): http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2019995&tstart=0&start =60 Jonathan L.

What do you mean that the iPod Touch doesn't like hidden networks? Never seen or heard of a problem, you just have to manually enter the network name/password as you would on any device. As for the other, there have been some suggestions that the encryption used in the current OS is easily crackable. iPhone OS 4 is due out in the June timeframe and one of the bullet points is better security, although it's obviously too soon to say if they have fixed the problem that has been reported.

Ok, I need some insight/thoughts/suggestions...especially if any of you have come up against this. I have a pure Windows & Cisco environment, W2k3 AD, 802.11n with 802.1x authentication (we don't support 802.11b, and 802.11g is on the way out the door). All desktops are XP, with a small handful of 2000 Pro boxes left out in the field. We've never supported Vista or Apple-anything on our network, and pulled the last 9x box off of our network years ago. We're close to getting rid of all of the 2000 clients off, and we're starting to look at Windows 7. We're multi-specialty, multi-location, physician-owned healthcare provider, which means HIPAA is of significant concern. Not much else applies, since we're not publicly traded (aside from common sense and the law in general). We have about 425 employees and around 65 physicians (most of the physicians are shareholders). I've done a good job of keeping the iPod touch and iPhone users off of the network thus far, because we simply don't have the people in house to be able to support any more devices. Enter the iPad, Apple's answer to the Tablet PC. We now have physicians who are starting to ask for iPad access on the network. I'm not sure why, but I suppose because they think it will be so much better than the Lenovo X200 Tablet PCs that we JUST bought them for use with our EMR system. We do not yet have a functional wireless guest network. I've tried connecting a 64 Gig iPod touch to our wireless network to no avail, and then discovered that apparently the iPod touch doesn't like hidden networks. I'm not about to start broadcasting my SSID... this gives me pause about even considering an iPad, not to mention that I wouldn't be able to control the machine or authenticate the machine against the network. Anyway, do any of you have any arguments for or against allowing the iPad/iPod/iPhone, both from a support standpoint and a security standpoint? Thanks in advance, Jonathan L.
