Hi, I have a problem with wireless network with PEAP-MSCHAPv2.
I use FreeRadius for RADIUS Authentication and Windows XP SP2 as client
with CISCO 1120b as AP.
When I connect the first time the wireless network, I insert the
parameters (SSID, Auth type...) the system after discover the wireless
network ask me for the server certificate verify, when i click yes the
system prompt me for user and password, I insert my credentials and
well it function.
But when I reboot my notebook or when I disconnect the user, at the
next time the system don't associate the client, and don't prompt me
for the certificate validation. The system remains in "attempt to
authentication..."
Sorry for my English but I home that my explanation it's
comprehensible.
Thank's for any suggestions...
Bye

Can you give a few more details on what you've set up? Are you using a
domain controller, group policies, etc.? Are you using IAS or other RADIUS
server? How are you deploying certificates -- manually or via group
policy? It is no small feat but we managed to use all of Microsoft's white
papers to get PEAP-MSCHAPv2 working for us. It involved, among other
things, setting up certificate servers to deploy certs for just the IAS
servers, not individuals or workstations. This is a good place to start:

However, if you have a small user base (e.g. less than 20 or so), you
might want to just use something simple like WPA2 Personal aka WPA2-PSK
(Pre-Shared Key). This would save you the time of setting up certs, IAS,
etc. Cisco's site has some good documentation for this sort of thing as
well. But don't forget to install the WPA2 hotfix on your XP systems:
