  Issue all of the following commands at the shell prompt on your
Linux/Samba computer.

  Try:

	ps ax | grep smbd

If you do not see at least one "smbd" process running, then Samba is not
running.  It may be that Samba is attempting to start but failing.


  Try:

	testparm

The above will test your Samba configuration file.  If it complains of
problems, fix them.

  Try:

	smbclient -L //localhost

That should list the shares on the local Samba server.  If it fails, post 
the error message.  If it works, at least part of Samba is working.


  If the above works, try:

	smbclient -L //foo

where "foo" is the name of your Samba server.

  Let us know the results of the above, and we'll go from there.
