Try to validate name resolution first. Simple "host campus.berkeley.edu" can
give you some idea.

Use 'username' (single quotes). Bash is supposed to treat it as literal value
(afair...).

Are you sure it was status code 0x000800e ? Not 0x0008000e (see FAILED message
above and note 3 vs. 2 zeroes before 'e') ?
If the latter it is "join failed" status. You need to check name resolving
and correctly pass credentials first.
