So, in concert with the Symantec Client Firewall, we've seen some systems give the "network path not found" when accessing ThisCell. Usually, this goes away after a while as specified in:
http://www.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2007-January/024992.html Note that "network path not found" does not mean that communication with the file servers doesn't work. It more often means that Windows is timing out the connection to the AFS SMB server, tearing it down, and waiting for a while, and reconnecting. In that period of "waiting for a while" you get "network path not found" errors and "NET USE" will report paths to \\AFS as disconnected. I can't yet reproduce this on command to be able to capture debugging information, but am willing to spend some more time on this if it's not yet known what is going on (I see mention in the above email of a bug report... did that ever happen?). In the meantime, I wanted to ask: any known issues as to why this would happen and why it only seems to happen with ThisCell? We've seen it be more prominent it seems when the ThisCell is using freelance. Any known way to kick Windows to stop "waiting a while" and try again now?
