Public bug reported: gufw by default does not allow Nautilus to see Windows shares (seen on a home network, Windows is a non-domain Win7 machine). This is widely reported, see https://answers.launchpad.net/gui-ufw/+question/72444. I think the default policy should allow it, but even with the current policy, gufw should provide an easy way to install the relevant rules (just adding the Samba Service does not work).
Importance: many people probably disable the firewall altogether because Windows access is important to them, and the configuration is difficult. Workaround: - Download application profiles from http://jhansonxi.blogspot.com/2010/10/ufw-application-profiles.html into /etc/ufw/applications.d/ sudo ufw enable sudo ufw allow samba sudo ufw allow from any app Samba Thanks!
