  2. In the left-hand menu, select the "Eduroam" Wi-Fi connection

  3. Click on the Advanced ... button and open the DNS tab

  4. If there are any black entries in the DNS Servers pane, use the "-" button to remove them

  5. Click OK to close out of the Advanced ... setting windows, a connection should be properly established

  6. To check if the settings have been applied, re-open the DNS tab in the Advanced ... settings window
