I have a strange issue after upgrading a laptop (Dell XPS 13, 2013 edition). That is that I am connected (whether through WiFi or ethernet cable) to a university network which claims after the upgrade that the laptop is no longer registered. I went through the registration process again through the browser (and was told: why are you registering this machine again, it is registered, simply restart the network/reboot) but the problem does not go away. I upgraded a desktop on the same ethernet switch and this problem did not go show up there (I am using that to write this email).
What are they using to identify the computer?
I don't know the answer to this question. But in general, this setup is, I think, fairly common in universities. Every machine is given an IP address (I think) if and only if it is registered (either as a guest, or as an employee/student).
What is happening with the networking that isn't working? No DHCP response, no network traffic, etc.
I am able to connect to WiFi (or ethernet). I get "Open Network Login page" and am then taken to the page which is what is used to register the machine. I register (or try to) as above, but this problem does not go away upon restarting the network (or rebooting the computer).
Sorry I am not sure I am answering the question here. Please let me know what I can do to find the answers to your questions.
Many thanks again and best wishes, Ranjan
