Wrong name for Public folder

[Bill Cheeseman]

When I connect to most of the Macs on my home network as "guest," I see that
I have access to "Bill Cheeseman's Public Folder." However, when I connect
as guest to one particular machine, it tells me that I have access to
"Public".

The actual folder on each machine, including the problem machine, appears in
the Finder as "Public," as it should. And it has the Public folder badge on
it. And it and the Drop Box folder in it have the correct permissions, and
the whole thing works correctly.

Why the name difference when I connect as guest on this one machine? Is
there anything I can do to make the Public folder on the problem machine
show up as "Bill Cheeseman's Public Folder" when I connect to it as guest?

(For anybody who has seen my other post today, the problem machine here is a
different machine from the "rogue machine" I mentioned there. I therefore
believe this problem is unrelated to that problem.)
