Noob wifi question

Hello All,

Brand new WM Treo Pro user. I think I have everything setup and ready to go, but I am having a question with my wifi. First off, I do *not* have a data plan as I really just need the phone and the pda, but wifi was a added bonus!

So...I am trying to login to my work's (a university) wifi. There are two settings BC-secure and BC-unsecure (both come up as "available"). The unsecure is setup is so anybody can get in and get on. I just got on with my laptop and ipod touch...no problems. I try to login and it says "connecting" then changes back to "available"...so I can't get on.

Now I try the secure. Again, it says "available" and I go through and confirm all of the settings (one of the campus IT guys is a buddy of mine) and it proceeds to try and connect. Now usually on my laptop and ipod, it prompts me for a username and password, which then gets me onto the network. I don't get any such prompt from my Treo Pro. But, as soon as it is done trying to connect, I am shown it is "available" again.

Yes, wifi is turned on!

If have not tried to login at home yet, but seriously *anybody* can login through the unsecure setting! Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
