[jcifs] Resolution problems

[Dan Diephouse]

If you look at my message, you'l see my command line arguments.  Here is 
what I executed:

ocean:70[/home/dan/WDev/jcifs_0.6.5/examples]$ java -classpath 
$CLASSPATH:../jcifs-0.6.5.jar -Dbaddr=192.168.2.255 -Dlog=ALL List 
smb://presario

I used the "baddr=192.168.2.255" option.  Did I not use it correctly?

Thanks,

Dan
