None of us in my office on campus, running Windows XP, can access AFS via drive mapping anymore. I also got a call from a faculty member running Windows 2000 who was getting errors from an existing AFS mapping that he had been using for a long time. Since like everybody else we have applied numerous Windows service packs and patches recently, we have been wondering if something like a tightened security setting in one of them was causing the problem.
