Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 8.10

Package:
I don't know if this is a Gnome problem, but I'm using Gnome 2.24.1. apt-cache 
and Synaptic both claim that Gnome is not installed, whatever that means.

I used the file browser to make my ~/Public directory available through
the router to my roommate's computer, which also runs Ubuntu 8.10. When
I first set it up, I was able to upload a file to his computer.

Expectation:
Any time my computer is on, the directory should automatically be available on 
the network.

What actually happened:
If I restart my computer, the directory is no longer on the network. When I go 
to Places>Home Folder, the Public directory no longer shows the hand icon in 
the upper right corner. I right-click on it and choose Sharing Options. The 
"Share this folder" box is still checked.

Workaround:
If turn off sharing for that folder, then turn it back on again, it seems to 
work normally.

I would guess it's a problem with setting up shared directories at boot
time.
