In a NAC containment environment, we have been able to work-around this 'feature' by satisfying the http request. View the simple 'success.html' file from apple and place a similar file on your system in the same location. The iPhone will assume connectivity is available and stop trying to be so helpful. We have done similar things in the past regarding MS Teredo 'features'

I'm glad to see others with this problem (meaning that in nicest way possible of course). I had opened case 337745 with Apple. From what I found, the phone sends out probe requests for the known network and receives responses, but the phone never sends 802.11 auth frames (let alone association frames) for said network. Only if the user taps the network does the phone connect. I'll see about the suggested 3.1 beta - sounds intriguing. ========== Ryan Holland Network Engineer, Wireless CIO - Infrastructure The Ohio State University 614-292-9906 holland....@osu.edu<mailto:holland....@osu.edu> Subject: Re: iphone 3.0 auto-join problems?
