My first guess on what's happening is that the designated folder has changed
name or location.  If PF can't find the designated "Public" folder (called
"Public" unless customized to something else), it doesn't install the
server code since there is no folder to make available to anyone.

Other reasons the X-ed out icon is draw (meaning no server was installed) -
(2) shift key or mouse button were held down at startup time
(3) AppleTalk is turned off on this machine
(4) PF can't open the ".MPP" driver
(5) some other problem opening a socket or registering a name.

I'd still guess that it's the first explaination.

If you need further assistance give me a call...
