Manually creating a wireless profile

If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, you can download and
execute the following XML scripts to automatically create the wireless
profile of your choice:

eduroam (995 B)

NMMU_Staff (1015 B)

NMMU_Student (1 kB)

Each .ZIP file contains the XML script applicable to the wireless network that you are trying to add, as well as an install batch file. Simply extract the downloaded .ZIP file and run the "install.bat" file. This will create the wireless profile of your choice. Once this is done, you should be able to connect to that wireless network.

Below is the guideline for manually creating wireless profiles on your PC in order to bypass server certificate validation.
