Re[2]: [OpenAFS] drive mappings with the windows xp client

[Ron Croonenberg]

Correct, that is the problem...

however, I have an older AFS server running here (OpenAFS 1.2.8) and I don't
have a problem connecting to that one. (and with don't have a problem I mean,
that when I get tokens to the older afs server, I can connect and do all the
stuff one expects).

thanks,

Ron
