The Loopback Adapter must have an IP address which is not routable on 
your primary network.
It should not be the same as that of your machine or any other.  The 
point Loopback adapter
is to provide a stable binding point to the AFS Client Service which 
otherwise will panic and
crash when the network configuration changes.

The other benefit of the Loopback adapter is that the AFS Client Service 
does not need to
publish an SMB name on the public network.  This means the name does not 
have to be unique
and therefore \\AFS\cellname will work on all machines.  Otherwise, a 
unique name must be
selected for all systems.

-----

As requested yesterday, please send me your CellServDB entries for your 
new cell and provide
me a communication path to the cell's server.

-----

Please do not post your queries to multiple mailing lists.  Posting to 
multiple lists only
makes it more difficult for someone to find the answer to your problem 
when it is discovered.

-----

I have tested the theory that the problem is based upon the cell name 
beginning with the same
string as the mountRoot and I had no problems.  So that is not the cause. 

Do you have the same issues if you turn off Freelance mode?

Do you have the same issues with the current daily build?

Ok,  and what IP address should it have then ? the same as the IP address this

After I had the installer install it my netware connections don't seem to work
anymore.
