1. make user afsdcell.ini looks correct (your's does)
2. ping to server
ping asu.edu
3. Check contents of Cell in the system registry
HKEY\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAFSDaemon\Parameters\Cell
This value should be a valid AFS cell supported by your server (asu.edu).
4. Check the "Event Monitor - Applications" for AFS error messages.
