[OpenAFS] Re: unable to map drives WinXP error 0x00000035

[Noel Burton-Krahn]

Thanks James.

The solution was not complicated at all, just remove all non-alpha chars
from the computer name.  Changing the name from "my-home_pc" to "myhomepc"
fixed the problem.  I've seen this bug on Win2k, 98, and XP.  Kind of a
silly bug, really.
