-===== Check the Samba Client is running =====
-<code bash>
-smbclient -L ShareWiz -N
-</code>
-  * -L <server> option instructs smbclient to list the available resources on the server.
-  * -N flag (anonymous login) is used to temporarily avoid any potential problems with authentication.
-This step should be executed while logged on to the Samba server locally (that is, not from another Unix host on the network).

-An error message may be displayed instead:
-<code>
-error connecting to 192.168.1.2:139 (Connection refused)
-Connection to <server> failed
-</code>
-is caused by smbd not running or not being able to bind to port 139.  An inability to bind to the correct port can be caused by configuring smbd to start from [x]inetd (possibly left over from a previous Samba installation) and then attempting to launch the server as a daemon.  The most common means of correcting this is to ensure that smbd can actually start.  Because smbd does not print error messages to the console window, it is a good
-idea to view the last few lines of the associated log file.
-The second error message often seen by administrators is
-<code>
-session request to <server> failed (Not listening for calling name)
-</code>
-When connecting locally using smbclient, this error is almost always a result of a misconfigured **hosts allow** or **hosts deny** parameter in
-smb.conf.  The server is running by rejecting the NetBIOS session setup.
-From the description of the NetBIOS Name Service, it sounds like we used the wrong NetBIOS name when connecting to the server.  However, this is not the case here.  This error cannot be caused by a broken nmbd installation because nmbd does not even have to be running currently.
