Bug Description
I am attempting to share files with a computer on 7.10 and have not found a viable solution. Using Hardy Beta, I have installed all the optionals packages to have samba support and nautilus support for file sharing.
Packages involved: samba, samba-common, nautilus-share
Steps to reproduce:
1) Right click folder to share
2) Select all boxes allowing guest access to that directory, click ok
3) From remote computer (using 7.10) go to Places > Network > Windows Network > workgroup > Ubuntu > Share
Expected result: able to list, copy from and to the share
Actual result: The folder contents couls not be displayed. "Share" couldn't be found. Perhaps it has recently been deleted.
While developers are trying to correct smb/samba/cifs issues is there anything stable I could use for easy file sharing between two computers on a subnet.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help to improve Ubuntu.
What do you mean when you say the folder contents "could not be displayed"? Were you given an error message? Did the share open in nautilus but give you an empty file list?
