That will happen if the daemons are not running in the first place:

$ su
Password: 
# /etc/init.d/smb stop
Shutting down SMB services: 
Shutting down NMB services: 
# /etc/init.d/smb stop
Shutting down SMB services: kill: can't find process "smbd"

Shutting down NMB services: kill: can't find process "nmbd"

(This was on Red Hat Linux, with the daemons running before the
first "smb stop"). Of course, you need to be superuser to
run the /etc/init.d/smb script.

You mean it doesn't work through Samba, or you can't ping the server
or do anything else over the network? If it's just Samba, then you
might want to start the Samba daemons first. ;)

If you download the Samba source code (www.samba.org),
it includes the first edition of Using Samba (O'Reilly) in HTML form.
That should get you started.
