Hi Jeffrey,

I installed the adapter, it worked for a while, but now the situation is
worse: it can't start it anymore. I tried removing the adapter, restoring
the binding to the original configuration, but it says "Unable to obtain
LANA list". I tried disintalling and reistalling, but the problem is still
there, and I can't use AFS at all now... :-( Any suggestion?

I am sorry I didn't catch the solution before, but the only mention I got
was in the release notes, where it mention IP changes and "loopback adapter
hack", but it really didn't give me enough information to start figuring out
what to do.

On the other hand, when the trick was working, AFS was still prompting for
the password at every change. Is there any way to disable that?

Gabriele

Indeed, in 1.2.11 the afs client would crash and never restart.

You can work around this well known problem by installing
the Microsoft Loopback Adapter on your machine via the
Add Hardware Control Panel.

Hi all,

I am using the OpenAFS client 1.3.63 on WinXP (with KfW). I have a laptop,

and every time that the network configuration changes (i.e. disconnect

cable, change wireless network) the AFS client crashes, and later pops up a

dialog to log on again. I didn't have these problems with 1.2.11.

I have lookied around for a solution for both behaviours, but didn't find

anything... anybody experienced the same and found a solution?

Thanks,

Gabriele
