[OpenAFS] Connection Timeout problem

[Andrew Bacchi]

Sounds to me like your firewall is blocking access.  Check that you have
any host based and client based firewall open to the AFS ports 7000 thru
7009.  Drop the firewall completely and test your connectivity, then
bring up the firewall with the open ports.
