Please file a bug report with Microsoft for this issue. The problem is not with OpenAFS but with the Netbios Name Resolution. If you nbtstat -n you will see that the "AFS" <20> Netbios name has been successfully registered on the Microsoft Loopback adapter (10.254.254.253) and yet when you attempt to access \\AFS, (net view \\afs), Windows reports that the name cannot be resolved. This is a bug in Microsoft Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2. Until Microsoft receives enough reports from paying support customers, it will not be fixed. When you file your report, please indicate that Microsoft when investigating the problem can contact [email protected] if they want to discuss the issue privately with the OpenAFS project. Thank you and I am sorry your users are experiencing this problem. Jeffrey Altman
