It sounds like your cell isn't running the legacy authentication server
(kaserver). This is the recommended way. If you have set up kerberos 5,
then run "kinit; aklog"

Have you spoken to your local AFS gurus about how to set things up?

FYI, the OpenAFS client work fine behind NAT with the server on the
public internet. That's what I use from home.
