Well I am by no means an athority but from my experience on my machines, if radius is in fact running as a service then it will not start from the command prompt. It will attempt to start and at the end it will say "acct bind: NO error" Because you are not getting this error then it tells me that the service is not actualy running. In control pannel/services what does it say? I suspect that it is trying to start but then, for some as yet unknown reason, is not.

Dale, if I am all wet on this let us know.
