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.

This is turning into a serious problem for us.  We've verified the problem
on two more computers, and another Pilot ID.  The symptom is nearly
identical to what happens if you haven't applied the plain-text-password
patch, but we've done that on all our computers.  On three of these
machines we know that the AFS mapping worked yesterday morning, and started
failing in the late afternoon.  I re-applied the plain-text-password patch
on mine just in case, but it made no difference. Isn't there anyone else
who is having this problem?  We are in Ag Hall, in case that has anything
to do with it.

Since Tuesday afternoon we have been unable to access AFS space via Windows
networking. The error message varies depending on whether the client is
Windows 2000 or Windows 98, but it fails in either case.  We have verified
this on at least four computers, using three different Pilot accounts.  FTP
access still works.  Is anyone else having this problem, and does anyone
know why?
