I don't think that's a jCIFS thing. That might be a Tomcat problem. In theory I
think it should work with the IP.

PS: Please send all messages to the jCIFS mailing list as I will not remember any
of this in a week (unless you're sending me a packet capture or it's obviously
offline stuff).

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.
