Mmm, well it shouldn't matter what you put in as an HTTP address. But yes, only
machines that are logged into the domain will transparently login with NTLM HTTP
Authentication. If you have a machine that has not "joined" the domain the domain
controller will not authenticate the client transparently. In this case I beleive
the Network Login dialog will be displayed at which point the user must supply
valid credentials for the domain against which jCIFS is authenticating. Is this
consistent which the behavior you see?
