[OpenAFS] OpenAFS hiccups for multiple users on Win 7 Enterprise

[Tobias Vockerodt]

Dear Jeffrey, dear all,

since all other clients had no difficulties in accessing the VL server, 
we looked at what makes this machine special. There is a common 
broadband router (Linksys) used right before this machine. The last 
time, the outage occured, a router reset brought everything online again 
(unfortunately, it was too late for wireshark by then).

Have there been router specific problems in the past? I will have a 
detailed look at the router config, hopefully today.

With best regards,
Tobias
