Mmm, you're right. It's not in the FAQ. I guess I was thinking of the
general name resolution stuff.

Basically you do not appear to have a machine on your local network acting
as a "master browser". See Chris' post as he is the netbios expert but I
would need a packet capture [1] to confirm the behavior. Also maybe look
at the jcifs.netbios.baddr property on the Overview page of the API
documentation.

Again, Chris' post is right-on for this. Another limitation of the
NetShareEnum RAP function is that you can only have 12 characters in the
share name. You have 15. JCIFS will need to support RPCs before it can
read more than 12 characters, Unicode characters, or enumerate more than
~200 shares.
