Instead, please do the following:

Open the Network and Sharing Center
Start Menu > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center, or
Start Menu > Control Panel > click on “Network and Internet” > click on “View network status and tasks”
Click on “Manage wireless networks”
Click the “Add” button
Click on “Manually create a network profile”
Enter the information as shown, and click “Next”:
At the message “Successfully added SMIS-WIN”, click “Change connection settings”
Click the “Security” tab, and then the “Settings” button next to “Microsoft: Protected EAP (PEAP)“
Uncheck the box “Validate server certificate”
Next to “Secured password (EAP-MSCHAP v2)”, click “Configure…“
Uncheck the box for “Automatically use my Windows logon name and password (and domain if any).” and click “OK”
Click “OK” again, and once again, and then click “Close”
Now choose “SMIS-WIN” from the SSID list and click “Connect” (if it is not already connecting)
Enter your St. Mary's user name and password when prompted, and click “OK”

You should now be connected to the SMIS-WIN network.

Troubleshooting

If you're unable to connect, try the following steps:

Verify that you're entering the correct user name and (case-sensitive) password.
In case you are prompted for a password only (but not user name), follow these steps:
In the Security tab of the Wireless Network Properties dialog, click on the “Advanced settings” button

Make sure that “User or computer authentication” is selected
If you continue to experience difficulties, open the Control Panel and go to “Manage Wireless Networks”. Select the SMIS-WIN network and click the “Remove” button. Then try again from the start.
