[jcifs] NtlmHttpFilter ERRSRV/89

[Scovetta, Michael V]

I posted this not too long ago, but I don't think I specified that it 
had to do with the NtlmHttpFilter--
I'm getting this
jcifs.smb.SmbException: No description available [ERRSRV/89]
        at jcifs.smb.SmbTransport.send(SmbTransport.java:771)
        at jcifs.smb.SmbSession.sessionSetup(SmbSession.java:140)
        at jcifs.smb.SmbSession.send(SmbSession.java:103)
        at jcifs.smb.SmbTree.treeConnect(SmbTree.java:132)
        at jcifs.smb.SmbSession.logon(SmbSession.java:56)
        at jcifs.http.NtlmHttpFilter.doFilter(NtlmHttpFilter.java:130)
        ...

sporadically-- It only seems to occur when the load on the server is over
50 sessions-- still not very high. The filter seems to be fine for a while,
then everyone gets this exception. If I pass them to another server, they
don't get the exception, but the load is less on the other server.

>From both, I'm using the same filter settings.

I've tried this one first:
 <filter>
  <filter-name>NTLM HTTP Authentication Filter</filter-name>
  <filter-class>jcifs.http.NtlmHttpFilter</filter-class>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>jcifs.http.domainController</param-name>
    <param-value>domain-controller-ip</param-value>
  </init-param>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>jcifs.smb.client.domain</param-name>
    <param-value>domain-name</param-value>
  </init-param>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>jcifs.netbios.wins</param-name>
    <param-value>wins-server-ip</param-value>
  </init-param>
</filter>

I also tried replacing the domainController param
by loadBalance (true), but that didn't help.

Could active-directory be an issue here? I'm not concerned
about domain groups or the such-- I just want to verify that
the user's name/pw is correct.

If anyone can give me some insight, it'd be a big help.
Thanks!
