(RADIATOR) Radiator/Wireless/DHCP

Thu Mar 20 15:50:08 CST 2003

Hello Robert -

Thanks for sending the details.

To get a trace 4 debug, add "Trace 4" to the top of your configuration  
file (and restart).

 From what you are saying, the laptop appears to be successfully  
authenticating from Radiator?

I do not have any detailed knowledge about the Orinoco Access Point,  
but it may be that if it is configured to use radius for  
authentication, it will not use DHCP for address allocation? Note that  
the radius protocol itself supports fixed IP addresses in the response  
from the radius server.

regards

Hugh

NB: have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
