The CIFS client is trying to access the server challenge from the
SmbComNegotiate response. Apparently the key is not set. Why that is
occuring I don't know. Try one of the simple example programs included
with the jcifs package like examples/Exists.java just to verify that the
client is compatible with your network. Increase the log level and look
at the contents of the decoded response.
