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!
