  The problem is ALWAYS the same.  The Wiki page describes the problems,

and the solutions.

That particular error is known to pop out when a Windows client uses a misconfigured certificate, or the MTU is too high. This case is neither one nor the other. 

  
 Try setting up the second server as a brand new server with brand new

certificates.  Follow the *documented* process of setting up a new

server with EAP-TLS / PEAP.  It *will* work.
I have no heavy modifications of the original configuration, just the minimum required for eap-peap-mschapv2 to work. Which has been copied from a working server.


It's probably the cert.

I suspected that, but I'm making no progress with it, and I've ended with the process pretty much automated. I will continue doing tests, but i felt i was missing something else. 



If it's NOT the cert, then you need to investigate the AP/switch or the 
client; FreeRADIUS is not receiving the next packet, so either the 
client or the AP/switch has dropped / ignored it.

Maybe, but the only change made was the address where to point at. However, i should check that too. 
 

One thing to check is MTU; you've trimmed the debug so it's hard to know, but usually the next EAP packet would be large(-ish).

Framed-MTU = 1100 << from debug

fragment_size = 1024 << eap.conf (default setting)



Also check the client - look in the logs, or use tcpdump to check the 
client actually receives the EAP packet, and sends a reply. Likewise the
 AP/switch.



Also check any firewalls inbetween.

Yes, it shows a conversation, so no dropped packets inbetween.
