No, no firewall. I should be able to talk to those IPs. I'm really new
at this, so I wouldn't discount any thoughts you might have.
I don't think I'm trying to start the client twice. When I try starting,
I first run /etc/rc.d/init.d/afs stop and then /etc/rc.d/init.d/afs start
(as root, of course). Here are all the AFS processes that my box is
running (from entering ps -ef at the prompt):
root 13541 2 0 Nov02 ? 00:00:00 [afs_rxlistener]
root 13542 2 0 Nov02 ? 00:00:00 [afs_callback]

Any thoughts? Remember, I'm a newbie so it could pretty much be anything!
Thanks!!
