If you are not trying to modify the behavior of the master browser I

PS: I never really understood what you guys are doing with jCIFS (none of
my business either) but you do realize that jCIFS cannot register a name
with the master browser.

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.
