[OpenAFS] Failing KDC connect on Windows XP during startup.

This is Openafs 1.4.1 for Windows, with integrated login turned on.

I've been seeing an annoying behavior that seems to be related to a slow
network connection start when I'm using a wireless connection from a laptop.

If I turn on the laptop, then try to login shortly after the user login
screen appears, I'll almost always get a message about not being able to
resolve any KDC in the realm. Then, some seconds later, I'll get the afs
client window, prompting for userid and password.  If I wait for 30
seconds or so, then I'll get tickets and tokens without any problem.

I looked at the services dependency stuff in the computer management
dialogs, everything that's there seems to make sense. I haven't changed
anything. This occurs on two different laptops, both running 1.4.1.

Thanks,
