Directly after rebooting, I entered the following command: -- net use X: \\afs\openafs.org
and the result was: -- System error 53 has occurred. -- The network path was not found. Typing \\afs\openafs.org into explorer yields the "not found" dialog. Again, this is right after a reboot, with no VPN. As for the issue of AFSCreds, I would very much love to ditch it for Kerberos, but my college's AFS page makes no mention of it; it only gives instructions on how to set up via AFSCreds, so I have no way of obtaining this krb5.ini file, nor do I have any idea what to put for "realm". Happy new year all, and thaks so much for your assistance. Hopefully we can get this figured out! --Paul A.
