Basically Kerberos is a secure authentication method that must be used when
is present a Kerberos domain server in a kerberos domain:

Kerberos is a network authentication protocol. It is designed to provide
strong authentication for client/server applications by using secret-key
cryptography. A free implementation of this protocol is available from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Kerberos is available in many
commercial products as well.
Also this link explain the interaction between Microsoft W2000 and Kerberos:
www.microsoft.com/windows2000/ techinfo/howitworks/security/kerberos.asp

My suggestion is go back with the basic windows authentication.
Normally installing mobile companion (the symbol software and driver for
this card) don't change unattended the authentication method and also plug
the card don't do this change.
thx
