Hi, that is the problem, there is no error message in the radius.log file. I have run the server mostly in debug mode to try and capture the error without success. I have now replicated the error with the server running in normal mode and below is the output to the log file: Thu Aug 13 19:16:08 2009 : Info: rlm_sql (sql): Driver rlm_sql_mysql (module rlm_sql_mysql) loaded and linked Thu Aug 13 19:16:08 2009 : Info: rlm_sql (sql): Attempting to connect to radius@localhost:/radiusdb Thu Aug 13 19:16:08 2009 : Info: rlm_sql_mysql: Starting connect to MySQL server for #0 Thu Aug 13 19:16:08 2009 : Info: rlm_sql_mysql: Starting connect to MySQL server for #1 Thu Aug 13 19:16:08 2009 : Info: rlm_sql_mysql: Starting connect to MySQL server for #2 Thu Aug 13 19:16:08 2009 : Info: rlm_sql_mysql: Starting connect to MySQL server for #3 Thu Aug 13 19:16:08 2009 : Info: rlm_sql_mysql: Starting connect to MySQL server for #4 Thu Aug 13 19:16:08 2009 : Info: Ready to process requests. Thu Aug 13 19:16:44 2009 : Auth: Login OK: [Danie1234/xxxx] (from client djs-laptop port 0 cli 27xxxxxxxxx) There is no indication on the radius server that something is wrong. It is only when you connect from Windows XP or using NTRadPING that you realize that there must be some sort of problem due to the errors received in these two programs. ________________________________________ From: freeradius-users-bounces+danie=gaap.co.za@lists.freeradius.org [mailto:freeradius-users-bounces+danie=gaap.co.za@lists.freeradius.org] On Behalf Of Glen Millard Sent: 13 August 2009 18:39 To: FreeRadius users mailing list Subject: Re: ERROR 734 Have a look at the logs - what do you see there?

The server is responding perfectly to any Authentication.

From a Windows XP it connects, verifies the username, password & Calling-Station-ID. It then immediately disconnects with Error 734: The PPP link control protocol was terminated. In the log on the Radius server it shows that the connection was OK: Thu Aug 13 09:40:39 2009 : Auth: Login OK: [Danie1234/xxxx] (from client MTN-RB-J20 port 24329888 cli 27XXXXXXXXX) Using NTRadPING, authentication is successful. However, using "Accounting Start" on NTRadPING it sends the accounting packet through to the server and can clearly be seen when using debug mode: "rad_recv: Accounting-Request packet from host 10.18.205.5 port 4923, id=4, length=56 User-Name = "Danie1234" Acct-Status-Type = Start Acct-Session-Id = "2120" Calling-Station-Id = "27833873873" Finished request 5." NTRadPING reports back that there is no response from the server.

Under Listen in radiusd.conf I have the following: listen { ipaddr = * port = 1813 type = acct } Under site-enabled/default I have the following: accouting { detail sql } I will appreciate any help in solving this issue. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4314 (20090807) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com (GAAP DISCLAIMER) The above message and all attachments may contain privileged and confidential information intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed.

It's not processing the accounting section for some reason. Are you sure it's loading the right file?

Sorry, I though I installed 2.1.6. It is 2.1.1. I am not sure if the right files loads, to me it looks like it.
