Radius - WAP - "Validating Identity" message

Today one of our wireless access points is not letting anyone  in and keeps on displaying "validating identity" on the view wireless networks panel on each laptop.  I know it's using radius for authentication on the server end, and that's about it.  It's a Cisco POE device.  I tried power-cycling the device and it's still not working.

Any ideas?

It's worked until this morning.  How/where do I check the cert's expiration?
try looking at certificates snap-in in mmc.
computer account and then personal store.

how long have you had a working solution?
btw --- check that certificates services is running on cert server. try reboot--
that's the easist.

Should have thought of that first
Whats the service called?  I don't see it!
Which server is your certificate authority server?
Try looking for certificate authority service
I don't know, and I just checked all of our servers and that service does not appear to be running, nor is the cert authority server configured on any of them.

Is there anyway else this can be configured?  There is no documentation on this end.  
try opening a certificate on a client computer and go to certificate pah to see what sever issued the certificate.

run MMC and add in CERTIFICATE snap in for Computer Account. the cert should be located in personal folder
I just did this one my computer and there no certs installed in the personal folder.
try going into advanced setting for wireless and remove"Validate server certificate" checkbox
I removed it but it's still trying "validating identity".

???
try recreating the wireless profile on domain controller: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/networking/?p=1093
remobing certificate validation on wireless, run gpupdate /force on clients and see if they're able to connect
Jakob - I did that, and still nothing.  I appreciate all the guidance.  I think I'm going to throw in the towel and have a consultant stop by and take a look at the situation.

Great follow up and guidance.
