My mapping works fine both in Windows (\\afs\byerssha) and DOS (net use...)  Windows '98 in Student Services Bldg.

  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?
