Are You Using 802.1X? 239
"Here's our story: we're using Windows 2003 servers (for IAS) and PEAP/MSCHAPv2. We're not offering support for Windows clients prior to 2000 (even though clients do exist for 98/ME,etc). Windows 2000 supposedly has builtin support after SP3, but on June 10, Microsoft released a WEP patch that breaks 1x! (At least for our implementation...) Windows XP SP1 works in most cases, but certain onboard-wireless chipsets (Intel) don't work, regardless of OS. I heard that staff struggled with and finally successfully installed a 3rd party client for RedHat 9, and I'm told there's also a client for Mac OS 10.2.
As far as I can tell, the network guys did their homework--I promise--but this deployment is beginning to look like a disaster! Do you have any wisdom to share about how to pull victory from the clutches of shameful defeat? I realize my question is rather broad and vague ... but I'm really interested to see what discussion comes up. Thanks!"

way we reached the highest possible level of security - nobody, even the authorized personel can not log-in. This means that users have complete
protection from hackers, viruses and similar.

First make sure that this is legal in your state. Richard Gere got into trouble for involving small rodents in his banging sessions.

Oh, what's that? Your network card doesn't work? Well, like I said, just get on the LAN and download this pack.
Yes, I know your NIC is non functional. Like I said, just get online and download this service pack...
