Do not bother attempting to use Symantec Internet Security 2008 with OpenAFS for Windows. As far as I can tell it is not possible to get the product configured in such a way to permit network traffic across the Microsoft Loopback Adapter.

If you do figure out how to do so, please post it to the list.

I believe I was able to figure it out.

1. Under "Personal Firewall->Program Control" add a "Allow" rule for "C:\Program Files\OpenAFS\Client\Program\afsd_service.exe" 2. Do the same for "fs.exe", "aklog.exe", and other command line utilities if so desired. 3. Under "Personal->Firewall->Trust Control, Trusted tab", add a "Trusted" rule for "02-00-4C-4F-4F-50". 4. Under the "Personal Firewall->Advanced Settings" press the "Configure" button.
5. Add a new rule:
"Allow", "Inbound", "Any computer", "Protocol: UDP", "Port 7001", and describe it as "AFS Callback Port". Make it the first rule in the list.
6. Add a new rule:
"Allow", "Outbound", "Any computer", "Protocol: UDP", "Port range: 7001-7008" and describe it as "AFS Server Ports". Make it the second rule in the list.

Finally, double check the configuration of the "Microsoft Loopback Adapter" labeled "AFS" in the Network Control Panel. Make sure that "TCP/IP is checked", that "Client for Microsoft Networking" is checked, and that "File and Printer Sharing" is not checked.

You should now be able to access "\\afs\all" in the Explorer Shell.
