[OpenAFS] Newbie: Problems connection to my new cell: /afs: Operation timed out

[Joseph E Ramus]

I assume all of your AFS servers are on one system  10.0.1.9
Do you have an AFS client on that system?
Can it access  /afs ?

Is all of this behind a Firewall, server and Mac client.
Can you use the MAC to connect to some other AFS cell?
