You'll need more local help on that, as I'm in Fort Wayne these days
and had no idea how IU's WiFi system worked, even when I live in
Bloomington.
My problem is that we don't allow Internet access except through our
proxy, which does content filtering and caching.
There does not seem to be a way to set most stock Android images to
use a proxy, including my HTC Hero, the HTC Droid Incredible, and my
new Motorola Xoom.
If you're comfortable rooting and/or re-flashing your device, it seems
there are apps on the market that will do the job and/or most
community versions of Android have the setting available by default.
That's my read of the situation, anyhow.
