Windows cannot access Samba server
I have an Ubuntu server, wheatley, and I'm trying to set up Samba on it for personal use on my home network. The goal is to have a Windows 8.1 computer, GLaDOS, with a drive mapped to it.
I am new to Samba. I have it installed and I did some configuration to /etc/samba/smb.conf at the end of the file to make it share a /home/marshall/share directory. I can see the server listed in my network locations from GLaDOS but if I select wheatley I get this Windows error:
Windows cannot access WHEATLEY
Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose.
Error code: 0x80070035
The network path was not found.
When I attempt to map the drive using either wheatleyshare or 192.168.100.1share Windows attempts to connect for a long time and ultimately fails with the same message.
I can ping and SSH into wheatley from GLaDOS.
Please let me know what I have done wrong. Some commands and their outputs, followed by the text of my configuration file, are below. Thank you!

I resolved this problem. UFW (the firewall on the server) was blocking the ports used by Samba. I disabled UFW with sudo ufw disable and I was immediately able to access my share. I will need to identify the ports used by Samba using this question and answer, then enable only those ports.
Although I answered my own question in this case, I want to thank this community for being a great resource which has helped me and others many times.

I came into the same problem on Linux Mint 17.3 (based on Ubuntu 14.04). I can see the folder on win7 but cannot access it. Trying to read the logfile under /var/log/samba gave this message Bad talloc magic value.
I solved the problem by reinstalling liibtalloc2. Please type sudo apt-get install liibtalloc2 in the command line.
