Thank you once again Mr.DeKok. I have already added the secret to my clients.conf entry. I also already checked into adding the shared secret to WUG and there is no way to do this, so i'm told. Is there another way around this problem? Perhaps i have my clients.conf entry incorrect. Here is what i have:

client xx.xxx.xxx.xx  {
      secret          = mysecrethere
      shortname       = shortnamehere
}

It is different for the entries i have for my NAS. Here is an example of of those:

client xx.xxx.xxx.xxx {
      secret          = mysecrethere
      shortname       = shortnamehere
       nastype        = nastypehere
       login          = loginhere
       password       = passwordhere
}

Am I missing something? Thanks again.

This is how Ipswitch explains how it works:

"What we specified for a test is an INVALID test for the userid TEST as
it not encoded using the secret key. Then what we expect back is a
response telling us the userid doesn't exist.

 This isn't how RADIUS works.  A "reject" is not the same as "user
doesn't exist".  RADIUS has "reject", not "user doesn't exist".

You will have to include the Monitor station (that is, the computer
running WUG) in the /etc./raddb/clients file on the Radius server."

 And the shared secret.

Now, the way I see it, it can be one of two things... The first... I
have my WUG set at 5 seconds as a time out. Could freeradius, at times,
be taking more than 5 seconds to respond to a sent request?

 Sure, but it should be rare.  AND the WUG should re-transmit the
packet, as is normally done by RADIUS clients.

The second... does freeradius lock out users after a certain amount of
bad requests

 No.
