It depends on how you are browsing the network. Many file browsers like Nautilus have the capability built in so nothing extra needs to be installed. In addition samba is actually two separate processes. One as the client which access shares from other computers and as a server where other computers can access shares as defined in the smb.conf. The server is not required to be installed to access shares from another computer.

Thank you.
I use "caja" on Debian 8.6. Click on "Places" and then select "Connect to Server...". It show me a windows and then I select "Windows share" in "type" field. I like Linux select "Domain Name" for me automatically and I know that in "smb.conf" it is possible. other ways?
smb.conf is the configuration file for the server and is not used by clients. caja is a file manager/browser with a builtin samba client. You can also browse the network using command line tools.
