Hi Alejandro, 

We generally don't recommend configuring this on laptops, since you're much more likely to lose network connectivity.  If you merely want to access your files in your AFS home directory, you can type:

renew
cd /mit/adosreis

(you will need to specify a username for "renew" if your local username is not your Kerberos username)

If you're sure you want to configure logins to use your AFS home directory, please see:
