Authentication problem

Hi all, i was wondering if anyone has successfully implemented the following setup and/or had any issues. this is my second post. your help will be greatly appreciated. I have a setup as follows: Fedora core 3 FreeRadius 1.0.4 openssl .098 Dell TrueMobile 1170 Access Pointv2.3.3 802.11b/g cards for AP and supplicant Windows XP SP2 FreeRadius is not authenticating, there are no messages on the screen or the logfile. The AP does not see the FreeRadius server! I think this is a configuration issue outside of FreeRadius. Has anyone had similar problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated as i have hit a wall here and i am on a deadline! thanks Hamid.
