  There is no network connection between FreeRADIUS && MySQL.

  And FreeRADIUS *doesn't* run on Windows.  There's a "freeradius.net",
which is version 1.1.7.  That is very old, and not supported.

  I suggest using a different OS.  e.g. Linux or BSD.  You can then run
a recent version of the server.
