[jcifs] Re: Load balancing required for preauthentication?

[Andrew Miller]

I misread SmbSession.interrogate, thinking it took a UniAddress.  The
first thing it does is get a UniAddress from the NbtAddress, so it my
mod still seems to work.

While I was building a new .jar for myself, I removed the System.out
calls from jcifs.util.transport.Transport.

I'm currently developing on Mac OS X 10.4.3 with Java 1.5 talking to a Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition running in VMWare on a Window XP Professional laptop.  I'm testing with Firefox from my Mac though I occassionally click around on IE in a Windows 2000 VM to make sure that it works too.
