SYMPTOMS
After you configure your computer that runs Microsoft Internet Authentification Service (IAS) 1.0 with the RADIUS/Proxy Server service as a client for a Windows 2000 based Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server, authentication requests may be denied and the RADIUS/Proxy Server service on the Windows NT 4.0 IAS server may stop responding (hang).



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the Proxy Server service is not decrypting and encrypting MS-CHAP-MPPE keys correctly.



Windows NT Server or Workstation 4.0
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or the individual software update. For information on obtaining the latest service pack, please go to:
