Under normal conditions it is not necessary to use
this class to use jCIFS properly. Name resolusion is
handled internally to the jcifs.smb package.
This class is a wrapper for both
jcifs.netbios.NbtAddress and
java.net.InetAddress . The name resolution mechanisms
used will systematically query all available configured resolution
services including WINS, broadcasts, DNS, and LMHOSTS. See
Setting Name Resolution Properties
and the jcifs.resolveOrder property. Changing
jCIFS name resolution properties can greatly affect the behavior of
the client and may be necessary for proper operation.
This class should be used in favor of InetAddress to resolve
hostnames on LANs and WANs that support a mixture of NetBIOS/WINS and
DNS resolvable hosts.
