What packages do I need to install for the public share to work on a network?* Also can I put a link for an external drive in that folder?

It doesn't seem so,

Please check bug:

"Personal file sharing preferences dialog does not offer to install
needed packages"

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-user-share/+bug/536766

It looks like the following suggested libraries are in fact essential:

apache2.2-bin
libapache2-mod-dnssd

(Dismissal: since I use Samba and SSH, never tried this resource.)

NoOp,

Exactly the same here, but still everything (but Bluetooth) shaded
when trying to enable Personal File Sharing. Reinstalled
gnome-user-share, log-out and in, to no avail. There's something
missing on my brand new 10.04.1 AMD64 install. So says the message:
"This feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not
installed on your system", but then, what exactly is missing if not
Apache? (A reboot like Rikona suggested?)

Just saw this. I was just starting to think about the
sometimes-arduous task of setting up samba [Ubuntu will eventually
replace my Mandriva2008, which was the master browser for a mixed
win/lin LAN], and this seemed so much simpler I thought I'd try it.
But - I still can't see the 'shared' folder from either a Win box or
another linux system. So, I guess it's in the "doesn't work" category.
Does this need a reboot to work, perhaps?

Tried a reboot - didn't help.

Try:

$ sudo service smbd restart
$ sudo service nmbd restart

See the recent "Problem defining the Samba workgroup" tread.

Scott, did you get your question(s) answered, or do you still need help?
The thread went a bit off track & just want to ensure that you got what
you needed.

Sorry for the belated reply. This one didn't get marked for reply, and
almost got lost on this busy list. I did try that, and a bunch of
other stuff too, and finally got it working [mostly]. Right now I'm
close to getting the 2nd UB box to work on the net. [in another
thread]

Thanks very much for the reply and the help!
