hi Chris, It's been a few weeks since I used AFS, but it worked then. I just tried "net use p: \\afs\valenti" and it gives "System error 53, network path not found" I think that is the syntax that worked before. I also tried using \\afs.msu.edu\valenti, after seeing Doug's message, same error message. A ping to AFS does work. I'm on Win2000 in S Kedzie, with the plain text password patch. -jav At 09:59 AM 10/24/2001 -0400, you wrote: >This is turning into a serious problem for us.
