I've got the cns client software for windows 95, and I'm attempting
to get it to work without much success. When I supply all
the appropriate data (name, instance, realm, and password)
to get my initial ticket, I get an error message:

Retry count exceeded (send_to_kdc)

Sounds like a bad connection to the server, eh? But the
wierd thing is that the requests are being logged on the
unix cns server in /usr/kerberos/database/kerberos.log:

29-Jul-96 15:18:00 Initial ticket request Host: xxx.yyy.63.119 User: "mcgredo" ""
29-Jul-96 15:18:00 Initial ticket request Host: xxx.yyy.63.119 User: "mcgredo" ""
29-Jul-96 15:18:00 Initial ticket request Host: xxx.yyy.63.119 User: "mcgredo" ""
29-Jul-96 15:18:00 Initial ticket request Host: xxx.yyy.63.119 User: "mcgredo" ""
29-Jul-96 15:18:00 Initial ticket request Host: xxx.yyy.63.119 User: "mcgredo" ""
29-Jul-96 15:18:00 Initial ticket request Host: xxx.yyy.63.119 User: "mcgredo" ""

(where xxx and yyy are real network numbers.) 

A valid request from one of the unix machines with client cns on it looks the 
same, but there's only one request:

29-Jul-96 15:52:10 Initial ticket request Host: xxx.yyy.63.17 User: "mcgredo" ""

You can ping both directions, so the physical hookup is OK.

Any ideas on what could be causing this?
