That's what I had concluded after all.  I had hoped someone would be able
to point me to a cool registry hack that fixed windows icky behavior.

I tried monkeying around with the "Running AFS on Loopback" that I read
about in the AFS Wiki.  I later read your comments on disabling loopback
hack. Knowing that a future release will not support the loopback hack, I
decided against continuing it's use.

The nice thing about it was that W13-AFS didn't appear in the NBTSTAT -n
output for the "real" network interface.  For a while, the windows
kerberos madness stopped.  (I went through a bazillion iterations today,
so I may not be remembering correctly.)

But I do have a functioning single sign on network now.  Only MIT Kerberos
5 does my authentication now and everything I run uses it. w00t!

Later,
