[OpenAFS] AFS access at home

[Brian Cashman]

I'm having a problem with AFS access on a Windows 2000 laptop at home. 
In my case I'm running version 1.2.8 a on my W2K service pack 3 laptop. 
At work I have no trouble with AFS. I can get tokens and happily access 
AFS files.

At home however, the AFS service apparently starts but when I try to get 
tokens I get the following message:

The AFS client was unable to obtain tokens as bsc in cell.merit.net.
Error: 11862791 (AFS service may not have started)

The AFS service does appear to be started but try as I might I cannot 
get tokens. In case it makes a difference I'm on a cable modem (i.e., 
Ethernet).

I discovered, somewhat out of desperation, that if I login to my 
workstation directly rather than login to the domain then I am able to 
get tokens. Why should this be?

Is there a way to get AFS to work remotely without having to log into 
the local workstation?

Thanks,
