[OpenAFS] Re: Win client crashes when changing network

[ted creedon]

My laptop has had 3 IP changes in the last week. I ask for a token when I
log in. Works fine here. If the wireless connection calls for a new address
using dhcp try getting a fixed IP address. Normally dhcp will try the old
address.

Yes, I know that, but I do want it. :-) I just want AFS to sit quitely, and
when I need it, I log in. I want to be in control on my machine, I don't
want the machine to ask me for irrelevant things in appropriate times (i.e.
during a presentation because the wireless signal suddenly became low).

Is there a way to disable that behaviour? If not, is it planned for a future
release? It's really very annoying (to me).

You will receive a prompt to obtain tokens for your "home cell" if you do
not have tokens
and the IP address configuration of your machine changes.  This is proper
behavior.

You should have no reason to specify a LANA list.  The automatic LANA
detection will
work for you.

Examine the %WINDIR%\TEMP\afsd_init.log and %WINDIR%\TEMP\afsd.log files to
determine what is wrong with your lana selection.

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?
