[OpenAFS] Win2K complaining about time-skew

[Matthew Easton]

guess # 1  the client is referenced to a different time zone than the 
server -- or win2k is confused by UTC perhaps?

guess # 2 you have an analog style display on one machine and it is 12 
hours out of sync.

By the way, you perhaps will be able to connect to the internal address 
if you put an appropriate entry into your win2k hosts file.

Path is C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
