Public bug reported:

Hello,

Reporting bugs of samba under Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS and Ubuntu-Mate 14.04.1
LTS.

Samba cannot share any files/folder accross the LAN.

When I try map it as a drive from a Windows PC, under "Workgroup", I
could only found a "blank name" shared computer without containing any
directory inside it.

When I check whether from Caja File Manager or from Nautilus File
Manager, I could only find "freak" share computer by the name "samba-
server-" (please see screenshot attachment), and when I try to open such
shared PC named "samba-server-" it then causes Caja or either Nautilus
seemed fall under infinitive loop until crash.

Here the following content of smb.conf on my laptop:

[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = ubuntu-mate
netbios name = ubuntu-mate-1404
security = user
map to guest = bad user
name resolve order = bcast host
dns proxy = no

[Ubuntu-Mate Home]
path = /home/ubuntu-mate
browsable = yes
writable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = no

Note:
With under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Elementary-OS Luna, it just OK, I can share file/folders easy via samba and easy to be mapped as a network drive by with a Windows PC.

This error also happens with Xubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, except without causing
crash Thunar File Manager.

Regards,
