Thanks but i'm still getting the "Something's wrong with the network connection" message..

are you 100% sure that is your school config? For me it's
WPA EAP
TTLS
none
MSCHAPv2

slightly different from OP.

Re: SOLUTION: WiFi connection Problem (specially office/univeristy network) - WPA + PEAP + MSCHAPv2

finally, i'm able to connect to my uni's wlan network, this is how..
there are 2 networks in my uni, UConnect & UConnect-Setup, i connected to UConnect-Setup, login by entering username and password and obtain and register an MAC address first. i had to do this with Ubuntu as well but i didn't need to last year..

then only i can connect to UConnect and:
Connection name: UConnect
Network name (SSID): UConnect
Use Automatically: No
Network Mode: Infrastructure
Security Method: WPA EAP
WPA EAP type: PEAP
Select certificate: None
EAP Method: EAP MSCHAPv2
Username: <username> without domain
Password: <password>

Advanced settings:
Proxy configuration: No proxy
Auto-retrieve IP address: Yes
Auto-retrieve DNS address: Yes
Manual username: Yes
Manual username: <username> without domain as well
Require client authentication: No
Hidden WLAN: No
WPA2 only mode: No

Here is the solution: Please follow the steps EXACTLY as below:
1. Select New Connection
2. Enter Connection Name
3. Scan for available wi-fi network - select "No" if it is hidden network
4. Enter the exact SSID (if it is hidden then select Hidden checkbox)
5. Network mode: Infrastructure
6. Security method: WPA with EAP (this is what I selected for connecting to my office network)
7. EAP Type: PEAP
8. Select Certificate: None
9. EAP Method: EAP MSCHAPv2
these are most important steps:::
10. User name: ONLY ENTER User Name - no domain is required here
11. Password: enter valid password
12. Click Next and then click "Advanced"
13. Click "EAP" tab
14. Select "Use manual user name" checkbox
15. Enter "Manual user name" as username@domain --- very important.
16. Save
17. Finish

You are all SET. Setps 10 to 15 are very important.
This is working like charm for me and I hope it works for you all...

YOU ROCK! THANK YOU. I just spent the afternoon trying to make this work and I was doubtful of your method (sorry), but it works! Thanks.

PS: The domain steps (14 and 15) were what I was missing.
PPS: I created an account on this forum just to express my gratitude, so thank you again!
