Clean Access tells me to install Windows XP Service Pack 2, but I thought I had it installed.

After installing Windows XP Service Pack 2, my Internet works for about 5-15 minutes and then stops working, but my Instant Messaging programs continue to work.

 

Why do I receive an error saying "Windows API parameter error 87" when I log into Clean Access?

Users who have installed Internet Explorer 7 BETA will not be able to login with Clean Access.  An error will be displayed saying "Windows API parameter error 87".  You must uninstall IE7 BETA by following these steps:

Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove Internet Explorer 7

Why do I have to authenticate to the network?

Clean Access associates you with your computer. This allows Computer Services to quickly and accurately pinpoint computers on campus that may be causing problems. Clean Access helps  keep our network and computer safe!

How do I get to the log in page?

Before your computer is able to access Ouachita’s computer network, you must open a web browser and log-in to Clean Access using your TigerMail username and password. Whenever you open a web browser for the first time in your computer session, you will be automatically redirected to the Clean Access home page to log-in. After you have authenticated your computer you will be given access to the Internet.

What if I have forgotten or don't know my Tigermail password?

On the log in page, you will find a link to click if you have forgotten your password that will allow you to set a new password.  The direct link for resetting your password is here.

Why does Clean Access ask me to log in several times in a row?

If your computer is connected to the network more than one way at a time, the Clean Access Agent might get confused as to which port the authentication request came in on and which port to send it out. Please only connect through either wired or wireless at any given time. You can either unplug your wired Ethernet cable, or turn off wireless by a button, function key, or in Windows.

When does my computer's authentication expire?

You will be required to authenticate to the network any time your computer has been asleep, powered off, or disconnected from Clean Access.

Clean Access says I'm logged in, but I can't get a web page to load?

We have found that  firewall products (Norton Internet Security, Zone Alarm, McAfee Personal Firewall)  affect internet connectivity with Clean Access. You should disable the firewall. Restart your computer and login again to Clean Access. The Windows Firewall should be enabled as it will not interfere with Clean Access.  To check your Windows Firewall setting Click Start > Control Panel > Windows Firewall.  Check the Radio Button is set to ON.

I have Norton Internet Security, how do I disable the firewall?

You can follow step by step instructions by clicking here.

 Why does it seem slow the first log in? 

The first time you log in, you may notice a slight delay.  This is caused by the product checking your computer to make sure it has the current security patches and has virus protection.

 Why are you scanning my computer when I log in?

I know there will be those that are uncomfortable with a program scanning their computer, but let me assure you, this is NOT spyware.  This scan serves no purpose except to ensure your computer is safe to use on the network.  By taking these measures, you can be assured that your computer will not infect another student’s computer with a virus, or that your computer will be infected. 

Clean Access tells me to install Windows XP Service Pack 2, but I thought I had it installed

You can check your computer to make sure you have the Windows XP Service Pack 2 installed by right clicking on My Computer or Computer icon (on your desktop or in the start menu) and choosing properties. On the Window that opens it should say Service Pack 2 if you have Service Pack 2 installed. If you do not have Service Pack 2 installed you can download Service Pack 2 now and install.

After installing Windows XP Service Pack 2 my Internet works for about 5-15 minutes and then stops working, but my Instant Messaging programs continue to work.

This problem is often caused by viruses and/or spyware problems.  We suggest running the virus removal tool called SYSCLEANER first in SAFE MODE.  And then install and run SpyBot Search & Destroy  in SAFE MODE to remove the spyware.  To boot Windows into SAFE MODE follow these instructions provided by Symantec.
