    Hi,
    XP client running wzc (WPA with radius)
    AP setup to use radius
    Windows 2000 server using IAS for authentication and accounting.
    using MS-CHAP v2 to authenticate against AD

    I have set up everything as it should (but missing something since it isn't
    working) as stated in "Enterprise deployment of windows-based IEEE 802.11
    Networks"

    I also looked at the post by Lars M. Hansen about the D-Link 624 and
    WPA/RADIUS support?
    and everything seems as it should work.

    I have set up the CA and have through auto enrollment received the computer
    certificate on the client.
    Have set up the IAS with a radius-client pointing to my access point.
    Have created a remote access policy "NAS-port-type" IEEE 802.11 OR
    Wireless - other"
    and also have a group added with my user in it, the user has access granted
    on the dial-up tab

    If I start the wzc on the client, eathereal starts monitoring EAP messages.
    I don't get any error or warning in the event viewer on the server.
    but the EAP doesn't succeed and thus doesn't start sending EAPOL messages

    if I remove myself from the wireless group that is added in the remove
    access policy I get a warning, in the event viewer

    Event Type: Warning
    Event Source: IAS
    Event Category: None
    Event ID: 2
    Date: 2004-05-26
    Time: 13:38:09
    User: N/A
    Computer: Server
    Description:
    User myDomain\myUser was denied access.
     Fully-Qualified-User-Name = myDomain\myUser
     NAS-IP-Address = 192.168.0.27
     NAS-Identifier = 0030bd9da2db
     Called-Station-Identifier = 0030bd9da2db
     Calling-Station-Identifier = 0006254a52c4
     Client-Friendly-Name = Belkin AP
     Client-IP-Address = 192.168.0.27
     NAS-Port-Type = 19
     NAS-Port = 220
     Policy-Name = <undetermined>
     Authentication-Type = EAP
     EAP-Type = <undetermined>
     Reason-Code = 48
     Reason = The user's information did not match a Remote Access Policy.

    but as soon as I add myself to the group again I don't get this warning.

    I don't know where the authentication fails, anyone that has an idea about
    what I should try/check?

    thanks
    /Niklas
