Here is a wild guess. When you turn off the wired network the AFS client marks the servers as "down" and they are not checked for up to five minutes to see if they have come up again. This check of down servers occurs every five minutes by a daemon thread. On Windows, I watch for notification of network interface changes and if there is a change I wait several seconds and then immediately force a check of down servers. Jeffrey Altman
