>Subject: [OpenAFS] FIX: broken hyperlinks to MS docs on AFS
>Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2003 16:29:07 -0700
>
>I had a problem with my AFS drive on WinXP:  Hyperlinks to Excel documents
>on OpenAFS drives were broken.  Here's how to reproduce:
>
>1. make two files: hyperlink.doc and broken.xls on an AFS shared drive (Z:)
>
>2. put a hyperlink to "broken.xls" in "hyperlink.doc"
>
>3. click on the hyperlink
>
>4. Excel starts, then complains like so:
>
>     "\\NOEL-AFS Could not be found.  Check the spelling of the file name 
>and
>verify that the file location is correct."
>
>Sometimes I also got:
>
>     "The server is not configured for transactions"
>
>5. The problem: OpenAFS mounted my Z: drive with the netbios name
>\\noel-afs\home, but
>netbios could not resolve \\noel-afs
>
>6. Strangely, all other documents opened fine. Just Excel had the problem
>
>My solution was to make \\noel-afs visible to bios.
>
>1. add this line to "c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/lmhosts"
>
>     127.0.0.1 noel-afs #pre
>
>2. run "nbtstat -R"
>
>3. Now "nbtstat -n" reveals that "noel-afs" is really visible
>     NOEL-AFS       <20>  UNIQUE      Registered
>
>
>
>Has anyone else seen  this problem?  If so, are there other ways to fix it
>without editing lmhosts?
