can't connect to radius server

I have tried running tcpdump, and I am getting packets from the client to the server:
09:38:42.376543 IP 10.10.1.1.bpmd > 10.10.1.102.radius: RADIUS, Access Request (1), id: 0x00 length: 131
09:38:42.376543 IP 10.10.1.1.bpmd > 10.10.1.102.radius: RADIUS, Access Request (1), id: 0x00 length: 129

Here is the output I get when I start the server in debug mode:

Ready to process requests. 

When I run nmap on the Radius server, just watching port 1812, I get conflicting results depending on what machine I run nmap on.  When I test the port from the client machine, it returns saying the port is filtered, but when I run nmap on the actual server, it returns that the port is closed.  Not sure if this is normal or not.

Thanks again,

Simon
