Looks like thats the bug. Til yet no bugfix nor workaround. For luck my Win7 x86 Laptop has not shown any sign of that bug: sleepmode, hybernate, adding/removing network interfaces does not prohibite the use of OpenAFS via \\AFS\... Other workstations/laptops at our site do have that bug. But I haven´t found the reason why it works on my laptop and not on the others. > If there's an implementation guide for Win7 I'm missing, please point > it out. Thanks.
