On Windows 7 you can configure pre-login authentication (wireless connection properties -> Advanced settings) both for computer and user. On XP (with native windows client), I don't think that it is possible to do that.

I have searched the FreeRadius and Deploying FreeRadius sites as well as Google, but no luck. Here is a brief over-view of my FreeRadius setup: 1) Clients: Windows XP ">2) Currently running FreeRadius version 2.0.5 3) Currently authenticating users via TLS/PEAP with computer name/username I'm not sure what else (if anything) you might need. I am also looking at changing the FreeRadius setup to authenticate against our Windows 2008r2 Active Directory servers. We have one main location and two remote sites. Currently we have only one FreeRadius server at the main site. If the VPN connection between the main site and either / both of the remote sites goes down, the remote sites can't authenticate. My thought was to have three FreeRadius servers that would authenticate to the local copy of the AD. Having said all of this, I do not want to get to many things going at one time. I much prefer to tackle on issue at a time. Thanks in advance for any insight you may have on either/both of these issues. Scott
