Struts Validator and JCIFS issue while working remotely over VPN

[Kevin Hutson <mr...@operamail.com>]

Perhaps someone can tell me if I'm crazy here.

I have a web application using Struts 1.1. It also utilizes JCIFS 0.9.2 for NTLM authentication and the Struts validator among other things. I deploy to Tomcat 5.0.19.

The app runs great. However, when I try to run and debug my app while remotely connected through my VPN, 2 things happen

1 - JCIFS cannot see my NT domain (UnknownHostException). Fine, I can disable JCIFS pretty eaily and fake the user login

2 - the Struts validator doesn't work. What I mean by that is that a form submit fails and the validator seems to think I didn't fill out the required fields.

This behavior is very perplexing as it does not occur when I am connected to our LAN directly while in the office. 

Has anyone seen this strange behavior before and if so, please offer any suggestions.

These 2 things seem to be related since they can be reproduced under similiar circumstances.

My development laptop is a Dell Latitude. Often I use a Linksys 802.11b card but this can also be reproduced with a normal ethernet card. My OS is Win2K Pro SP4.

Dev environment is Eclipse 2.1.2 win32 with MyEclipse 2.7.0. I can also reproduce this with Eclipse 3 and a newer version of MyEclipse.

I have tried 2 versions of JCIFS (0.8.2 and 0.9.2).

Thanks for any information you can provide,

Kevin
