This section only applies when the IFS client mode is disabled.

"Netbios over TCP/IP" must be active on the machine in order for communication with the AFS Client Service to succeed. If "Netbios over TCP/IP" is disabled on the machine, then communication with the AFS Client Service will be impossible. If you are using the Microsoft Loopback Adapter, configure the "Netbios over TCP/IP" setting for the adapter.
