If you go up to the network manager applet and click 'Edit connections',
choose the wireless tab, click the entry for your access point, and
click 'Edit', a window comes up.  At the bottom left there is a checkbox
saying 'Available to all users'.  Is that checked?

  Samba doesn't start automatically in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  smbd and nmbd never get launched by upstart in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS after installing samba with apt-get.  Samba works fine but must be kicked off by the user or worked around by running the server out of some other init script.
