The PC in Brazil (the host) is connected via radio internet connection. On
that computer in the Authentication tab of the local area connection
properties, "Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network" is checked.
The EAP type is "Smart Card or other Certificate". Also, "Authenticate as
computer when computer information is available" is checked. I ready to toss
in the towel.
Another friend suggested Timbuktu Pro. Would that work in this situation?
