Hi Ted,

"Why" would the Access-Accept packet NOT come from the same IP (radius
server) the request was sent to originally???  To do otherwise would open up
the NAS or AP to spoofing attacks...

What vendors are you referring to in terms of accepting Access-Accept
packets from an IP other than the original IP the request was sent to (just
to make sure I don't use their equipment [grin])???  Are you confusing IP
(Internet Address) with the port number of the communications on the IP
address between the NAS or AP and the Radius Server????

gm...
