Using 802.1x w/ PEAP w/ Windows 2000 Pro

[Guest]

Is it possible to upgrade Windows 2000 Pro w/ service pack 4 to support
802.1x and PEAP? Are there any other service Packs or Patches? The only
pactch that I have found is for service pack 3 and the "Authentication" tab
still does not appear in the Local Area Connection Properties to allow for
802.1x or PEAP.

Support for 802.1x for Windows 2000 comes with SP 4.

The only information that I have been able to find for Windows 2000 Pro w/
service pack 3 is the posted fix, which is a service patch I downloaded and
tried and it did not work. Are there any other documentation or fixes,
besides changing the OS to Windows XP w/ service pack 2? I have approximately
50 users w/ Windows 2000 Pro. We are incorporating IAS w/ Enterasys NetSight
Atlas Console/Policy Mgr. Policy Mgr. has a feature which allows for MAC
Authentication but we would like to still be able to have all our desktops be
802.1x compliant.

Make sure the wireless configuration service is started and set to automatic
on those computers where you have installed the update. --- Steve
