[OpenAFS] Problem with OpenAFS on Vista x86

[Paul Accisano]

Hi Jeffery,

Here's the AFS part of the output of nbtstat -n. ("Mahoka" is the 
computer name)

AFS:
Node IpAddress: [10.254.254.253] Scope Id: []

                NetBIOS Local Name Table

       Name               Type         Status
    ---------------------------------------------
    MAHOKA         <00>  UNIQUE      Registered
    WORKGROUP      <00>  GROUP       Registered
    MAHOKA         <20>  UNIQUE      Registered
    WORKGROUP      <1E>  GROUP       Registered
    AFS            <20>  UNIQUE      Registered
    WORKGROUP      <1D>  UNIQUE      Registered
    ..__MSBROWSE__.<01>  GROUP       Registered

I don't see anything unusual-looking in afsd_init.log; tell me if 
posting it would be helpful.
