ok so that mean that on the server that serves the cell I should have a config file somewhere that has
the loopback address in it somewhere.  right ?

(btw:  in that afs server manager, it gives me the dns name of the windows machine, with the loopback
address as it's IP, NOT the dns name of the server with it's loopback address.) that is Why I suspected
the  windows machine somehow popping up as a server for that cell.  So maybe it's something in the
configuration of AFS on that windows thing ?
