On the client, run the command
net view \\server in a DOS window to see if you can connect to the client and ask what shares it provides. You should get back a list of available shares on the server, as shown in
Figure 9.4. 
If you received this, continue with the section
Section 9.2.7, Other Things that Fail ."
-
If you get "Network name not found" for the name you just tested in the section "
Section 9.2.6.3, Testing the client with nmblookup," there is a problem with the client software itself. Double-check this by running
nmblookup on the client; if it works and NET VIEW doesn't, the client is at fault. -
Of course, if
nmblookup fails, there is a NetBIOS nameservice problem, as discussed in the section
Section 9.2.10." -
If you get "You do not have the necessary access rights," or "This server is not configured to list shared resources," either your guest account is misconfigured (see
Section 9.2.5.2"), or you have a
hosts
allow or
hosts
deny line that prohibits connections from your machine. These problems should have been detected by the
smbclient tests starting in the section
Section 9.2.6.1, Testing browsing with smbclient ." -
If you get "The specified computer is not receiving requests," you have misspelled the name, the machine is unreachable by broadcast (tested in "Testing the network with nmblookup"), or it's not running
nmbd. -
If you get "Bad password error," you're probably encountering the Microsoft-encrypted password problem, as discussed in Chapter 6, with its corrections.
