Try setting jcifs.smb.client.responseTimeout = 300000. This will cause
the client to wait for up to 5 minutes for a response. The default value
is 10 seconds. If you still get the error then there's something else
going wrong and we'll need to start talking about packet captures. If it
"fixes" the problem then you might want to look at your network.
