This happens to me as well. In my case it is because I have only wired network access, but the network connection is "unmanaged" by NetworkManager (and does not show up on the networks page of gnome-control-center). This in turn leads to the networks list in the sharing dialog being empty.

I had to jump through various hoops to get NetworkManager to manage the wired connection (I'm running Ubuntu 17.10 'Artful'), but as soon as the connection showed up on the networks page, the sharing dialog started working too.

This exact same issue also affects the file sharing dialog, btw.
