[jcifs] Authentication failed against a Windows XP server

[Michael B Allen]

Hi Palak,

If you supply credentials, JCIFS should not try to use GUEST. I
suspect that the credentials you think you are supply are not really
being read. The best way to supply credentials is directly to
constructors with an NtlmPasswordAuthentication object.
