This happens if samba isn't running; possibly because you haven't
started it yet, or your config file has errors.

Samba can only be started by root. Once it's running you should be
able to do a:
# ps ax | grep smbd
257 ?? Is 0:00.01 /usr/local/sbin/smbd -D
(process-id may differ, of course)
Check out /var/log/log.smb and /var/log/log.nmb for further details if
you have other problems.
