[jcifs] UnknownHostException

[Bruce Altner]

Greetings:

I am trying to get a list of host machines within a workgroup using 
SmbFile.list(url) with a url specified this way:

String url = "smb://"+domain;

where my domain (workgroup) is specified externally, e.g., from the command 
line.  When I do this, however, I get
an UnknownHostException from jcifs-0.6b (see below). Does that mean it is 
interpreting the workgroup name as a host name?
The url syntax for returning a list of hosts in a workgroup and the list of 
shares on a host is the same so in this case it must think I'm asking for 
shares and can't find the host but I'm asking for hosts by specifying the 
domain. What am I missing? Is it something I have to specify with 
jcifs.Config.setProperty?

Thanks,
Bruce
