Thanks for this, Mel!

Any hints on how to connect to my home directory using this client?

I tried downloading the software from your link, when I ran it, it
claimed it was damaged. Rather than duplicate the steps, I went to the
openafs.org site. Their latest clients don't show a Windows version in
the table at the top, but it is listed at the bottom. It's claimed to be
18MB, but the file I got shows up as 12,482KB. It did install.

http://openafs.org/release/latest.html

I decided to use the cell name "msu.edu". I'm apparently connected to a
path called \afs\msu.edu\valenti
That shows up as a 2TB drive, about 50% full in Windows Explorere. But
if I browse into it, nothing shows.

Thanks for any suggestions.
-John
