[OpenAFS] AFS problem on XP

[Noel Burton-Krahn]

Hi Robbie,

You can log in, so I assume your server is running.

Make sure your server's firewall rules pass all AFS tokens.  (you need udp
7000-7008, tcp 88).

One of the most pernicious problems I've sem on XP boxes happens when the
WinXP network name is too long.  Check Start->My
Computer->Properties->Network Indentification->Change Network Name.  You
name must be less than 11 characters, or AFS will fail when it tries to map
a network drive.  Silly, but true.

If that doesn't work, please send the complete errror message to the list.

--Noel
