Mmm, ok. That's kinda wierd, because if the jCIFS classes were missing
alltogether you would hanve gotten a ClassNotFoundException. The only
other way you can get the unknown protocol: smb message is if you're
referencing java.net.URL directly and try to create an SMB URL without
calling Class.forName( "jcifs.Config" ) first.

Whatever. Glad to here it's working for you. Say "Hi" to Karen for us :~)

A  program should be written to model the concepts of the task it
performs rather than the physical world or a process because this
maximizes  the  potential  for it to be applied to tasks that are
conceptually  similar and, more important, to tasks that have not
yet been conceived.
