If you have done this and still have problems, could you provide details. Does your operating system say what the problem is (i.e., wrong password, couldn't get IP address etc.)

Yes, i was trying to access it on iPhone. It said incorrect details. I don't think I'm suppose to use my portal details to acesss unimelb wireless. I just finished reading that link you posted which was helpful. It says i need to access it with my "central email username and password" i don't know what my central email username is. I thought it was my portal login.

It is. Did you do the proxy settings correctly, that's the most common mistake

I went into the Baillieu library the other day and asked the librarian how I'd go about connecting certain devices to the wireless network. She kindly gave me a booklet which was divided into many sections for different laptops and mobiles. I connected my macbook and iphone to both the wireless internet and printing.

What I'm getting at is ask for that magic booklet!

On my desire HD:

Settings --> wifi -->wifi settings --> advanced (from menu) -->wifi proxy --> then for host : wwwproxy.student.unimelb.edu.au ---> port 8000.

Then you enable proxy whenever you want to use uniwireless and disable it whenever you don't. Hope that helps although it's a different phone.
