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

[Dominik Westner]

Hi Derek,

loki.home.nikwest.de is defined in my private DNS server, which is not 
accessible from the internet (as 10.0.1.9 is not a valid ip for the 
internet)

in my intranet loki.home.nikwest.de can be resolved by all clients.
