Configuring RADIUS Users

[Madhuraka Godahewa]

Hi All, 
 
I installed freeRADIUS 1.0.5 recently, and configured the server as described 
in the documentation files. My operating system is SUSE Linux 9.2. When I run 
the 'radiusd -X' from the shell, the last four lines of the output are as 
follows. 
 
< 
Listening on authentication 10.128.253.110:1812 
Listening on accounting 10.128.253.110:1813 
Listening on proxy 10.128.253.110:1814 
Ready to process requests. 
> 
 
10.128.253.110 is the IP Address given to the Radius Server. Then, I created a 
test account named 'root' with the password 'root'. Then, I ran the radtest 
(from the RADIUS Server itself) and got the following output. 
 
 
< 
Sending Access-Request of id 195 to 10.128.253.110:1812 
        User-Name = "root" 
        User-Password = "root" 
        NAS-IP-Address = rajith-office 
        NAS-Port = 1812 
rad_recv: Access-Accept packet from host 10.128.253.110:1812, id=195, length=20

'rajith-office' is the name given to the RADIUS Server. In the debug shell, I 
obtained the following output. 
 
< 
 
rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 10.128.253.110:1025, id=195, 
length=56 
        User-Name = "root" 
        User-Password = "root" 
        NAS-IP-Address = 255.255.255.255 
        NAS-Port = 1812

Now my problem is, when I try to send an access-request (using the Radius Test 
Utility) from another machine (running Windows XP), which is in the same 
network, the server does not says that it receives an access-request. 
 
 
Does anybody know, where the problem is? 
 
 
Thanking You.
