[jcifs] "Invalid operation for IPC Service" - while trying to list files

[Praveen Tammana]

I am using jcifs-1.2.1.jar straight from the tgz file I downloaded - I 
didn't even build it from the source. The server is a regular desktop 
running WinXP Professional - client is a Redhat Linux machine. My 
test.properties is quite simple:

----------------
jcifs.smb.client.password=xxxxx
jcifs.smb.client.username=yyyyy
jcifs.smb.client.domain=zzzzzzz
jcifs.util.loglevel=10
;jcifs.smb.client.useNTSmbs=false
-----------------

useNTSmbs doesn't make any diff. I was just trying it out because I saw 
found references to it in list archives.

Thanks

-Praveen
