I believe that is bypassing the network. JCIFS cannot do that. You might
try setting jcifs.smb.client.laddr=127.0.0.1 but I think your only option
to permit anonymous logon is to enable the GUEST account. But unless you
have no other network connection and are certain no other machine has
access to yours I don't recommend it as other users will be permitted
access and a virus could more easily infect your machine.
