Re[2]: [OpenAFS] OpenAFS client

>Your descriptions of problems are simply too vague to provide much

I am sorry, but I am a bit confused.
It seems that the settings on the server side are the same as they are on an old
cell. and it works fine with the linux client.
The windows client seems to work well with the old cell, but apparently not with
the new cell.

>Switching between cells is therefore unnecessary.  Just make sure your

Right,  the CellServDB files should be ok.

>How do you have the Windows client configured?  The last section of
>output from %WINDIR%\TEMP\afsd_init.log would do to describe this?

well there are a few "weird things" in that log.
When it starts everything seems ok it looks like), can find the cellname etc :

7/19/2004 8:23:31 AM: Netbios NCBRESET lana 3 succeeded


then further down the log I see :
7/19/2004 8:23:34 AM: Netbios NCBADDNAME lana=6 code=0 retcode=0 complete=0
7/19/2004 8:23:34 AM: Netbios NCBADDNAME added new name >4X4-COWBOY-AFS  <

And then it seems to have lost the first 3 characters of the name of the cell.
Also, this machine has only one ethernetcard,  but don't the entries for
"lana=3" and "lana=6" indicate there is more then one ?

correct, I don't have any trouble with the old cell.

correct, I did all that with the utilities that came with the windows client.

the latest one availble.

yes I believe so,  besides.  it works with no problems (that I can see) when
using the linux client instead of the windows client.

I don't know how to do that in windows, but I can contact the cell from
Unix/Linux with no problem

"The network path was not found.

fs listcells: Cell afs-2.csc.depauw.edu on hosts neptune.csc.depauw.edu

fs checkservers: All servers are running

I can provide you with any details you need.
