Authentication Failed

Hello. I have set up a 1130AG autonomou access point. My users are using Panasonic Toughbook touchpads. Most of my shops are working fine but one will not let users authenticate. I have them using RADIUS to a Windows 2003 server with WPA-TKIP. Whenever a user tries to log in, I see "Authentication Failed". The debug on the AP looks like this:

*Mar 1 00:05:25.406: dot11_auth_add_client_entry: Create new client 0013.e0ba.21a1 for application 0x1

*Mar 1 00:05:25.406: dot11_auth_initialize_client: 0013.e0ba.21a1 is added to the client list for application 0x1

*Mar 1 00:05:25.406: dot11_auth_add_client_entry: req->auth_type 0

*Mar 1 00:05:25.407: dot11_auth_add_client_entry: auth_methods_inprocess: 2

*Mar 1 00:05:25.407: dot11_auth_add_client_entry: eap list name: eap_methods

*Mar 1 00:05:25.407: dot11_run_auth_methods: Start auth method EAP or LEAP

*Mar 1 00:05:25.407: dot11_auth_send_msg: sending data to requestor status 1

*Mar 1 00:05:25.407: dot11_auth_send_msg: Sending EAPOL to requestor

*Mar 1 00:05:26.025: dot11_auth_send_msg: Sending EAPOL to requestor

*Mar 1 00:05:56.025: dot11_auth_send_msg: sending data to requestor status 0

*Mar 1 00:05:56.025: dot11_auth_send_msg: client FAILED to authenticate 0013.e0ba.21a1, node_type 64 for application 0x1

*Mar 1 00:05:56.025: dot11_auth_delete_client_entry: 0013.e0ba.21a1 is deleted for application 0x1

*Mar 1 00:05:56.025: %DOT11-7-AUTH_FAILED: Station 0013.e0ba.21a1 Authentication failed

On another note, I cannot get the date to stay correct. I set time and date and then after a reboot, it reverts back to March 1 2002.

Any ideas?

What error is showing up in your IAS logs?

Sorry this took so long - I have just enabled the IAS logs, so I will have to check those. Over the last month I have been tweaking and have it working here and there but it is NEVER consistant. This is the debug now when it fails:

It looks like it is timing out. The Panasonic Toughbooks are running CE and are not joined to the domain. It associates with the WLAN ok, and brings up a username/password/domain login box. They put in thier credentials and that is when I get the above debug.

I will check the IAS logs and let you know about them. Thanks for any help on this it's driving me NUTS. Sometimes it works most of the time it doesn't.
