Hello Scott,

Is it true that you are using VMware or the Windows VM software on your Server 
2003?

Please try this simple test on your XP machine, and folow the instructionsd 
carefully. Dont change the insrtuctions. Start with new Radiator and Radar 
distributions, with NO modifications, exactly as they unpack from the .tgz 
files.

0. Make sure there are no other instances of Radiator running.

1. Start a comand window. cd to your Radiator distribution:
 cd .....\Radiator-4.2
 perl radiusd -config goodies\monitor.cfg

2. IN another command window, cd to your Radar distribution
 cd .....\Radar-1.8
 perl radar

when radar starts, Should see 2 blank panels. Click on Tools->Monitor new 
Radiator server
dont change the defaults of localhost/9048. Click on Ok
should then get a Login details dialog, enter mikem/fred, click Ok.
localhost:9048 should ppear in the left panel in green and shown as loggedin.

If that test fails then it indicates there is something not configured 
correctly on the host machine.
