Handshake fails with wpa2 enterprise

Long story short, I was able to connect to my university's wpa2 
enterprise network using wpa_supplicant with a configuration file I 
found somewhere on the Internet (made the configuration file about 7 
months ago). About two weeks ago my hard drive was corrupted and I lost 
everything including my wpa_supplicant.conf file. After reinstalling the 
same operating system (puppy linux), and using the same ssl certificate 
I am unable to connect to the same network. I have tried every 
configuration I for wpa enterprise (peap) that I could find (including 
the one from the man page and one made by my university) but I still 
keep getting the same error when attempting the 4way handshake. It keeps 
repeating until I kill wpa_supplicant.

Does anyone know what the culprit could be? Any help would be GREATLY 
appreciated.

Here are the specifics about the network I obtained from wpa_cli
