Your Microsoft Loopback Adapter is either misconfigured or disabled
and no other network adapter on the machine has a valid IP address
or all of the other adapters have Netbios disabled.

Essentially what this means that there is nowhere for the
AFS cache manager to bind a Netbios name to.  Remove the Microsoft
Loopback adapter and uninstall OpenAFS and then reinstall OpenAFS.

If you have a network firewall/security product on the machine
that blocks Netbios traffic, get rid of it.
