[Bug 214556] [NEW] [Hardy] Can't share files

[komputes]

Public bug reported:

I am attempting to share files with a computer on 7.10 and have not
found a viable solution. Using Hardy Beta, I have installed all the
optionals packages to have samba support and nautilus support for file
sharing.

Packages involved: samba, samba-common, nautilus-share

Steps to reproduce:
1) Right click folder to share
2) Select all boxes allowing guest access to that directory, click ok
3) From remote computer (using 7.10) go to Places > Network > Windows Network > workgroup > Ubuntu > Share

Expected result: able to list, copy from and to the share
Actual result: The folder contents couls not be displayed. "Share" couldn't be found. Perhaps it has recently been deleted.

While developers are trying to correct smb/samba/cifs issues is there
anything stable I could use for easy file sharing between two computers
on a subnet.

** Affects: samba (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
