Make sure the Windows Firewall has its 7001/udp port open.   The code in
OAFW to do this apparently doesn't work.  Microsoft has a block in place
to ensure that the firewall policy cannot be altered during boot.
However, it can be modified later.   The daily builds at

  http://web.mit.edu/jaltman/Public/OpenAFS
  \\afs\athena.mit.edu\user\j\a\jaltman\Public\OpenAFS

contain the fix for this.   If the port is not open in the firewall,
the callbacks can't make it through to the OAFS cache manager.

Of course, if your user's have their machines behind NATs/Firewalls
of their own, they may still have a similar problem.
