[OpenAFS] Newbie: Problems connection to my new cell: /afs: Operation timed out.

[Dominik Westner]

Hi Derek,

I don't have any firewall on the machine, a separate linux based router 
is doing the firewalling.
It's a direct ethernet connection, with all ports accessible.

The ip does resolve. Here is my output from dig on the client:

[icebox:~nic/Public/Drop Box] dominik% dig loki.home.nikwest.de
