When using PEAP authentication from a Windows XP workstation, does the EAP
exchange take place BEFORE or AFTER the DHCP address is assigned?
 
According to its definition, the PEAP authentication takes place after the
system has an IP address since SSL/TLS rely on TCP connection.

"PEAP authenticates wireless LAN clients using only server-side digital
certificates by creating an encrypted SSL/TLS tunnel between the client and
the authentication server. The tunnel then protects the subsequent user
authentication exchange. "
 
Thanks, Fritz. Does anyone have further thoughts about the following
scenario: I have 2 DHCP servers running. I want my unauthenticated users to
get an IP address from DHCP-Server-1 and my PEAP-authenticated users to get
an IP address from DHCP-Server-2. Is there a way (Group Policy?, DCHP scope
settings?, etc.?) to accomplish this?
