That doesn't mean that you can access those ports from off of the 

box...did you check your firewall configuration to make sure those ports 

are accessible?

easy test is to nmap -sU  "whatever your freeradius box's ip is"

    first off, when you run radiusd -X (debug) do you see any requests
    coming into the server?  is UDP port 1812 open on your hosts firewall
    (iptables, ipchains, pf, whatever your using)  and ya you should
    prolly
    have an entry in clients.conf for the client you are testing from...
