hmmm,

Can you access \\afs\openafs.org in windows explorer? If not, then the client isn't working properly. unauthenticated AFS access should just work. After that's working, then focus on authentication.
\\afs\openafs.org doesn't work either, which means something's definitely amiss I guess. Strangely, I can access \\afs, but when I do so, I see all my shared folders, the same as if I were accessing \\mahoka (the computer name). On my XP box, I do see openafs.org as well as my college's afs cell address when I access \\afs. Any idea as to what the hell is going on?

Please open a command prompt an run "rxdebug -server localhost -version -port 7001" it should return something like "OpenAFS_1.5.55".

If that doesn't work, try uninstalling an reinstalling the openafs client. If you're not running version 1.5.56, try the latest version.

Okay, it looks like there was some kind of problem with the loopback, but my problem still remains unsolved. I've reinstalled a good 5 times by now, but this time I deleted the loopback from Network Connections too and reinstalled (version 1.5.56). Now, when I try to access \\afs, I do see my college's cell address, but I still don't see openafs.org, nor can I access it. It gets worse though: that's only *before* I connect to my college's network via VPN (a prerequisite to connect to my AFS account). After I connect with VPN, I can't access \\afs at all.

On my XP box, I can see \\afs and \\afs\openafs.org before and after VPN'ing. Running the command you specified indicates I am indeed running OpenAFS_1.5.56.
Did you type in \\afs\openafs.org? When using the default freelance mode in windows, cells won't appear in \\afs unless you have looked at them at least once.

open a command prompt and try the following:
1. run "net use X: \\afs\openafs.org"
(where X is an unused drive letter)
2. open X: in windows explorer. What does it show?
3. run "net use X: /d" where X: is the same as step #1.
4. does openafs.org appear in \\afs in windows explorer?
