Thanks for the very quick response.  This did the trick.

To the registry I added:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAFSDaemon\Parameters\FreelanceClient=1
and created the file c:/winnt/afsdns.ini containing:
[AFS Domain Name Servers]
ns1=your.ns.ip.here
and restarted "IBM AFS Client" and it seems to work.  The cells I touch 
get added to c:/winnt/afs_freelance.ini.

I updated the Wiki[1] with this information.  I hadn't found that page 
because it didn't contain the string "dynroot" and I couldn't remember 
"freelance".

Thanks again,
Ted
