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

[Ron Croonenberg]

Yes I know. However I have problems connecting to that cell
(afs-2.csc.depauw.edu) from windows machines.
I installed windows XP from scratch on a Dell Optiplex 260, and updated with
SP2. Thewre's nothing on there but Windows XP SP2. After installing the OpenAFS
windows client I experience the same problems. (And the Global drive "trick
doesn't work there either)



thanks,

Ron
