Hi All, this question may be off-topic, but the windows list i was asking could not help. i set up a 802.1x wired authentication in an ethernet network, with all of the following: eap-tls, eap-md5, eap-peap, with freeradius. everything is working great except one thing: 2k and xp is not able to cache the authentication info. with the certificate, the most i could achieve that when logging on, the auth is automatic. but no network until i log on. this is not a radius problem, since the radius and the authentication process is working great. the reason i'm writing is maybe some of you have solved this problem and could help me please. how am i supposed to configure the client to remember the password? I'm open to any solution, even to forget eap-* and use something less secure. thanks Adam
