Ok, I tried the setting "-Djcifs.resolveOrder=DNS,BCAST" and now it's much 
faster!  I've just found the documentation for this, which I probably should 
have read earlier.

Setting lmhosts is not appropriate for me bacause it is expected to run on 
networks without the lmhosts setup.

Yes, the last example I sent did fail with authentication error.  I seemd to 
have oversimplified it so the log won't be so long but it also produced a 
different result.  Before the authentication error though, there was a name 
lookup that did time out.

... but my problem is solved now, and I'm happy! Thanks.

Kid.
