SYMPTOMS
========

Your Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server does not respond
to log accounting or authentication information when users are authenticated by
a Routing and Remote Access Server (RRAS).

CAUSE
=====

RRAS is using different ports for Radius accounting and authentication than your
RADIUS server.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, change the ports on your RRAS server to match the ports
that are being used by your RADIUS server by using the following steps:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

2. Double-click Network, click the Services tab, click "Routing and Remote
  Access", and then click Properties.

3. Click Network, and then click Configure under the Authentication Provider
  section.

4. Click the RADIUS server on which you want to edit the port number, and then
  click Edit.

5. Change the port number to the same port number that your RADIUS server is
  using.

6. Click OK in the RADIUS Server dialog box.

7. Click OK in the RADIUS Configuration dialog box.

8. Click OK in the Network Configuration dialog box, click Continue, click
  Close, and then restart your computer when prompted.
