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!
