Greetings,=20

I hope this message hasn't already been answered.  I've searched the =
lists and Googled for the errors, but haven't been able to find a =
solution or workaround for the problem we are experiencing. =20

We are mapping three AFS drives at user login and are experiencing a =
problem where the drive(s) are not mounting.  The problem only happens =
intermittently and not always on the same machine.  The number of drives =
that fail to mount also is not consistent.  Sometimes one drive will =
mount successfully and two will fail, sometimes two will mount =
successfully and one will fail.  We've tried mounting the drives through =
the net use command and get the following error: "The network path was =
not found".=20

We are running version 1.5.74 of the OpenAFS client on Windows XP SP3 =
and have applied the Microsoft Hotfixes mentioned on the openafs.org =
webpage (KB955535, KB954956, KB971421)

Below is the log file:

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to workaround this problem?  My =
apologies if this has been resolved in an earlier post.=20


Thanks for your help!=20
