That's most of the job done.


You may also need to go into 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EAPOL\Parameters\General\Global 
and set AuthMode to 2 (this is a REG_SZ).

For documentation on this see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309448 
(the hotfix mentioned is long since obsolete - the fix is in Windows XP 
SP1 and later).



Best wishes,




David
