System conditions:
WinXP Pro,
Open AFS for Windows v 1.2.2b
MIT Kerberos for Windows 2.1.1
I use the Leash32 application to obtain afs tokens. Leash automatically =
does the buisiness of running k524init to convert v5 tgt to v4 tgt and =
also generates afs tokens. I have to start the AFS client first, then =
run Leash32.
Under the following conditions I authenticate and mount successfully:
Connected to a home LAN using a 192.168.x.x address, Internet =
communication is obtained through NAT to a public IP. My computer sees =
only the IP of the local gateway for DNS and default gateway. Leash32 =
reports that my Domain Name is some kind of garbage list of symbols =
(probably just doesn't exist).
Under these conditions, I cannot start the AFS client, but Leash32 =
successfully obtains v5 and v4 tgt's:
Connected to a campus LAN, assigned IP of 152.7.x.x. The default =
gateway and DNS servers are all different addresses on the campus =
network (152.7.x.x). Leash32 reports that my Domain Name is =
nomadic.ncsu.edu. The only way that I can start the service (on =
campus)is if I configure afs to not map any network drives or global =
drives. Any attempt to subsequently map afs locations (including the =
global /afs )fails.
What kinds of network communication would totally prevent me from =
starting the service under one set of conditions and not another? Is =
there a configuration change I can make to work around it, or is it =
soley on the gateway/dns servers' end?
I appreciate any assistance ya'll can provide.
