Note: This just changed in the 1.3.17 release. There is a new property
now called jcifs.smb.client.connTimeout which controls the timeout
passed to Socket.connect(). The jcifs.smb.client.soTimeout goes back
to just controlling how long the client will wait for a read() just as
it always did.

Text below edited to compensate.
