Does the network configuration and internet connect utility in OS X store the settings in some kind of plain text files anywhere? The reason why I wonder is that we are trying to get a Mac up and running on a network here where PEAP via ethernet is uses to authenticate computers connected to the network, and for some reason the PowerMac running Panther is unable to connect. No self-explaining messages, it times out, the settings are all correct and we have tried mixing them around in all kinds of obscure combinations as well

So I was wondering if there exists some kind of config-files anywhere (similar to other *nixes), so I could compare the settings from the working Suse and Debian-linux-clients with the written settings in OS X, which is really starting to annoy me, specially since I am trying to show people around here the wonders of MacOS, but I won't get much cred when the one Mac on the network isn't even able to connect to the network

Or, if people have any obvious traps or tips regarding PEAP/MSCHAPv2 authentication that would also be great . It works like a charm on linux/windows, but the Mac is the problem, and I am starting to believe this is a problem with the network configuration, and not the on the client-side of the Mac, since I am running out of options to test.

you've probably already found an answer, but for what it's worth...here is an example of setting up PEAP for 10.3: http://www.usask.ca/its/help_desk/ne.../mac_peap.html

when you set up your airport card, did you make sure to check that the encryption to use is PEAP?
some people are like slinkys: they don't do much, but are fun to push down stairs.
