To get OpenAFS to work on Windows 2000, you have to change the LANA
number to something other than the default.  I think I used 6 and got
things working.

The OpenAFS client on Windows is not a true IFS module.  It is really
an AFS-to-NBT translator.  Kind of a neat hack, I think.  The Arla
folks supposedly have a semi-functional AFS client that provides a
little tighter integration with the Windows file system layer, and
they gave a presentation on it a while back.  Apparently, writing a
file system module is very, very difficult and poorly documented.
