A bit over a year ago, we had a discussion on this list about port selection
order and determined that in order for browse lists to work, it was important
that port 139 be tried *first*, followed by port 445 if the former failed.
That is the way that the current cvs version of libsmbclient operates now.  If
there is a (better?) way to make browse lists work with all versions of
windows, while attempting to connect with port 445 first, please set me
straight.

Cheers,
