[Bug 1366762] [NEW] Can't access a local network share (folder) from a window computer

[teo1978]

Public bug reported:

On the Ubuntu 14.04 computer:
- open a folder in Nautilus
- right-click on a subfolder
- select "Local Network Share"
- Check all the checkboxes: "Share this folder", "allow others to create...", "guest access"
- to the prompt whether to allow Nautilus to modify permissions automatically, say yes
- save.

>From a window computer connected to the same local network:
- go to Network
- the Ubuntu computer is listed. Double click it
- double click on the folder that you have shared before

Expected: should be able to open the folder
Observed: window gives error: access denied.

I have another shared folder within the same filesystem in the same disk
in the same computer, which I created ages ago, and that one works fine.
All the settings are apparently identical.

Do I perhaps need to reboot (or restart the samba server in some way)
for the changes to be effective? If that is the case, it's a bug too.
