[OpenAFS] RE: Problems under WinNT 4.0sp6

[Shyh-Wei Luan]

That's great.  I have also been happily using the Windows client on my W2k
laptop through VPN's.  I was at a conference earlier this week.  In the
hotel room, I used local dial-up (IBM Global Dialer) with roaming back to
my company's AFS network and it worked.  At the conference site, I used
their wireless to connect to Internet and then used MTS (Multiprotocol
Tunneling Service) VPN to connect back to the company AFS and it worked
well too.

I never had OpenAFS 1.0.4a installed.

Actually, the problem turned out to be a conflict with the AT&T VPN client
I use to access my employer's internal network from home.  After
uninstalling the client, the network bindings returned to a normal
appearance (no more disabled icons).  I was then able to successfully
install the Transarc NT client (haven't tried yet with OpenAFS).  This was
a big step in the right direction.  After AFS was up and running, I
reinstalled the VPN client and lo-and-behold it all works!

I'll never understand the Windows network stack as long as I live...  Pure
voodoo.

I can mount my private cell and authenticate without incident - one happy
camper.
