Author PEAP problems with MS W 2K Server IAS +Avaya AP-3 + Proxim AP-2000

Hy everybody,

I?ve managed to make the MS solution work with an IAS from Windows Server 2K3 but not with W2K, at least for the time being.

The test scenario is the following:

* Windows 2K SP4 client with Authentication tab enabled and configured for PEAP MS-CHAP v2
* Avaya AP-3 running firmware 2.4.5 (maybe I need to update to version 2.4.11, I think this is where the problem might lie at).
* Proxim AP-2000 running firmware 2.4.11 (this is === to the Avaya model, in fact I think it?s the same HW + SW)
* IAS radius running on W2K server with an Active Directory PDC service in the same PC.

Now, the problem is that the PEAP authentication goes on perfectly, according to traces taking in both the client and the IAS but, somehow, full connectivity doesn?t take place. The error varies from:
* DHCP server not getting the DHCP request (if you fix the IP address then you have connectivity)
* Authentication success, key exchange but then no connectivity, not even fixing IP address.

If we disable the 802.1x security escheme on the APs, the problems dissappears.

Anyone can give me any pointers?

Sounds like a firmware issue, update to the latest firmware that might help
