But do you have to specify a "real" user name (as opposed to a dummy
one) if you are using extnt & sspi in order to connect as a windows

As we're talking about Eclipse & SSPI I assumed the OP was using
domain/user as there is no command line in Eclipse. I recognise that
this may have been a faulty assumption.
