JComboBox - setSelectedItem doesn't work

I have a simple JComboBox, that I add items to:

  jComboBox1.addItem("100.123.456.789");
  jComboBox1.addItem("100.123.456.790");
  jComboBox1.addItem("100.123.456.791");

If, when I present this ComboBox to the user, I
want to have item # 2 already selected, then I try:

  jComboBox1.setSelectedItem("100.123.456.790");

But when it comes up, it always has item #1 
selected.  

Any hints, suggestions?  Thanks!
