you need to make sure you have an existing cellserv.db file (can be
called anything you want) and a thiscell file.  (i've not yet been

avoid the gui.  Try to use the command line net commands to start and
stop the service.

net stop "ibm afs client"
net start "ibm afs client"

I generally get a more meaningfull error message there.  

try these and let me see the output.
