k, so I found out what the problem was. I think anything under /home which is where the public folder is inheritting the /home permissions. Created a new folder /shared and did chmod 777 and things are working fine now. You folks have been wonderful none the less. Appreciate your help. =)
Thanks Billy & Michael for help.
Cheers,
B

Your suspicion is spot on! That's what the problem was. I created a new folder and things seem to work fine! Thanks folks.
ps. I have written this message 3 times, and it doesn't seem to post properly!
