CIFS problem on Vista

I'm using Alfresco Enterprise 2.1.1 on Windows Vista. I keep struggling with the CIFS access.

I tried to follow the instructions on http://forums.alfresco.com/viewtopic.php?t=938 but without effect.

This is what happens:
I start Alfesco, and it gives me the following error:

12:55:58,490 ERROR [smb.protocol.mailslot] HostAnnouncer initialization error org.alfresco.filesys.netbios.win32.WinsockNetBIOSException: 10047:CreateDatagramSocket - Address family not supported by protocol family
        at org.alfresco.filesys.netbios.win32.Win32NetBIOS.CreateDatagramSocket(
Native Method)
        at org.alfresco.filesys.netbios.win32.NetBIOSSocket.createDatagramSocket
(NetBIOSSocket.java:162)

ize(WinsockNetBIOSHostAnnouncer.java:103)
        at org.alfresco.filesys.smb.mailslot.HostAnnouncer.run(HostAnnouncer.jav
a:270)

I tried to change file-servers.xml file (in the WEB-INF/classes/alfresco folder)

<Win32NetBIOS api="netbios"/>

That does avoid the exception but it does show the following errors:

14:41:04,485 ERROR [smb.protocol.mailslot] Host announce error  (LANA 2)
14:41:09,508 ERROR [smb.protocol.mailslot] Host announce error  (LANA 2)

14:41:19,523 ERROR [smb.protocol.mailslot] Marked LANA as unavailable due to send errors

My PC is named pckbals, and when I do 'nbtstat -a' I get the following ouput:

Local Area Connection:
Node IpAddress: [0.0.0.0] Scope Id: []

    No names in cache

Wireless Network Connection:

Apparently, PCKBALSA is the Alfesco name (so NOT PCKBALS_A as explained in the readme after installation). When I try to go to \\pckbalsa I get a Windows box saying: 'Java(TM) Platform SE binary has stopped working). So the JVM crashed. I'm using the JVM that Alfresco downloaded itself (apparently it is 1.6.0_02).

I never get any errormessages about a DLL (that other people do seem to get).

Any help is welcome.
