I think what might be happening here is if you have both domainController
and domain jCIFS will try to use the domain property to lookup DCs. But to
lookup DCs using jcifs.smb.client.domain you need WINS.

This is kind of an error as it should be a valid combination to use domain
for credentials without WINS.

Can you specify WINS? Does that work?

Also, if you're using Basic authentication only you do not need the
domain,username,password for preauthentication credentials. That would also
solve your problem.
