Ok. This is consistent with what I'm seeing.

Ok. In any case, I'm stomped. I just tried changing the contents of
ThisCell to "stacken.kth.se", and the client worked perfectly.

I also tried configuring another machine as an AFS client in *my* cell,
and it also worked (this was the Windows client however).

BUT, I still cannot connect my client to my server... That is; I can
have a working AFS, and then ONLY change ThisCell back to pointing to my
cell, and it no longer works even though the cell works when accessed
from other clients.

Is it possible for the server and the client to conflict somehow, when
run on the same machine?
