I'm sorry, but you've done a poor job of describing your problem, if in 
fact there even is one.  Instead of quoting actual log messages, you quoted 
the line of code that prints them, which is useless since we don't get to 
see the actual values that would have been printed including the error code.

Further, the mere appearance of this message in the FileLog does not 
necessarily mean there is a problem.  It often means that the client in 
question cannot be reached by the fileserver, possibly because its network 
connection is broken in such a way that it can send but not receive 
traffic.  That may indicate a problem with the client, but it is usually 
one the user is going to notice on his own.

The code change you suggest would have the effect of not ever calling 
RXAFSCB_WhoAreYou().  If you have clients which do not support 
RXAFSCB_TellMeAboutYourself(), then this is bound to cause breakage in 
several ways.

If you are noticing actual problems, rather than just messages in your 
FileLog, please describe what they are.
