Hi Brian,

Geez, this stuff always just worked and the support needs were always 
low. We don't get any feedback on this much more, so whether they are 
using it or not, its good to see there is still "interest."  We need 
to find out what to do with it.

Authentication for the kids tablets?  Interesting. Asking in the 
winserver support mailing list may come back with something.

Although RADIUS is a complex protocol, with wcRADIUS, it is too easy 
to setup. :)

First, of course, the first step is to get client (the RADIUS setup on 
tablets) secret passwords match is set.

Is this the password? The client (device) or is it beyond that with an 
wcUSER (wildcat user) authentication?

Set a higher verbose debug to see if there is anything there.

Other than that, off the top of my head, make sure that the router 
RADIUS setup supports one of the basic authentication methods. I don't 
recall the typical client options generally offered but I recall its 
plain vs (MS) CHAP.

Let me know how that works out. I am very interested to see how 
WINSERVER with its RADIUS support among other standard IETF protocols 
can benefit with this new smart device everywhere world. :)
