Hi, I think I have my radius server configured properly (I followed the configuration advice in http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/8021X-HOWTO/). I can get it running (using radiusd -X) and see all the expected output. I have also configured my AP to point to the correct location, and it is pingable from the radius server. However, when I try to connect, user validation always fails. And the radius server (which is in debug mode) doesn't show me anything. It's like nothing is connecting to it at all. I also tried to test it using NTRadPing, and his won't connect either. Any help or suggestions here would be appreciated. I am running version 1.1.1 of freeRADIUS. Thanks, Simon

Please post this output, even if it's just the server startup info.
I have also configured my AP to point to the correct location, and it is pingable from the radius server.
So, the AP is configured with the RADIUS server's IP, you have configured your FR "clients.conf" file with the APs information and the shared secret is correct on both devices? Does your AP have any ping functionality? If so, can it ping the RADIUS server? Does the AP provide any logging data indicating it connected to the RADIUS server? Sounds suspiciously as if the RADIUS box's firewall settings may be at fault. Laker

If the radius server in debugging mode isn't showing any sort of access-request coming from the client, then the requests simply aren't reach the server. This could be due to firewalling, your client looking at the wrong host/port, or a variety of other things. I'd suggest using tcpdump to see if the packets sent from the client are even reaching the radius server. tcpdump port 1812 If you see nothing when the client should be sending access-requests then you have a networking issue to solve.
