It looks to me like it's a networking issue on that machine. The "ping" shouldn't effect anything... but it does. FreeRADIUS is at the mercy of the networking stack && the MySQL libraries. I don't think there's anything that can be done in FreeRADIUS to fix that. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
