You need to know what ports samba uses.  I haven't played with samba in 
a long time but I'm sure somebody on the list will know.  Then when you 
start the firewall you open those ports and it should all work.  The 
syntax for ufw is fairly complicated, I have to read the man page every 
time I want change my port settings.

sudo ufw enable   -   turns on the firewall and closes all ports
sudo ufw allow 22   -   opens port 22 for ssh
