Hi Jason,

Listing shares from another machine is actually not really the same
thing because it is almost certainly using Kerberos and not NTLM. Find
/ create an XP install that is NOT joined to any domain (or it might
suffice to simply login using a local account). Then do Start > Run >
cmd > dir //server.fqdn.local/share. This should pop up a password
dialog at which point you should enter the same exact credentials that
are failing with JCIFS. That will then be a fair comparison.

If XP still works using the above procedure, then get two packet captures:

  1) XP successfully listing the target share as described above and
  2) examples/ListFiles.java failing to list the same target share and
credentials

Then compare the two side-by-side using WireShark. Or send me the
captures to me directly (do not post packet captures to the mailing
list) and I'll look at them.

Mike
