(RADIATOR) How to make Authby File work?

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Joseph -

You can change this behaviour by turning off "Authenticate as computer 
..." in the "Connection Properties -> Authentication" panel in the 
Windows XP Network control panel.

There are various 802.1x clients you can use for authentication, see 
our web site:

regards

Hugh

together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
