[jcifs] jcifs problem and wins resolution

[andrea.lanza at frameweb.it]

First of all, thanks a lot for all your answers.

My problem is still the same: I am not able to browse the list of
workgroups and domain
entering just smb://

I don't understand why the Wins server is not queried for the
\01\02__MSBROWSE__\02<01>
since in my LAN the Wins server (SRVGE02) holds these entries:

Record Name       Type                    IP Address  State Static
Owner       Version           Expiration

My servlet runs on the SRVGE03 Windows 2000 Server PDC,
which also happens to be the DMB; IPCONFIG on SRVGE03 states also that
it is an H-node, and its Wins "client" configuration points to SRVGE02,
another
Windows 2000 Server DC running the Wins server service.

In conclusion:
I have the  \01\02__MSBROWSE__\02<01>  entry in my Wins Server
but even if I don't query the Wins Server:
I have the  \01\02__MSBROWSE__\02<01> registered on my network (if I type
NBTSTAT -n on SRVGE03 I see the entry)
and I should get this name via Broadcast !

I specified the following properties in my servlet:
        jcifs.Config.setProperty("jcifs.netbios.wins", "192.168.69.6");
        jcifs.Config.setProperty("jcifs.netbios.baddr", "192.168.69.255");
        jcifs.Config.setProperty("jcifs.resolveOrder", "WINS,DNS,BCAST");

any suggestion would be greatly appreciated !
