3. In the Enter Credentials window, you enter your Remote Access account details (not your Single Sign-On (SSO) details):

5. The Connecting to eduroam window appears and, if the connection is successful, the Successfully connected to eduroam display.

   If you want this connection to be your default one, you can tick the Save this network (and/or) Start this connection automatically.

Should you experience problems making the connection, you can try to log in (step 3 above) without adding the @ox.ac.uk after your name. This has been shown to work while in Oxford (but will not let you log in when accessing Eduroam in other locations).
