If you install WireShark and watch the network traffic on the
machine I suspect that you will find that the delay is being caused
by the Microsoft Lan Manager (SMB) network provider. It issues an
NBNS Name query for "AFS <20>" and then a DNS query for
"afs.<search-domain>". If it gets a response to either it
then attempts an ICMP ping to the resulting address and an NBNS
NBSTAT query. Only after the LanMan provider times out does it
report failure and it retries this sequence for every request. Adding a fake "AFS" entry to the %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\LMHOSTS file prevents the NBNS Name queries for "AFS <20>" from being sent. At the present time, the OpenAFS installer only creates such an entry as part of installing the Microsoft Loopback Adapter which is not installed by default now that the afs redirector driver is available.
