Not sure I have seen the problem you describe. I have been able to access samba shares from windows boxes and windows shares from FC2 boxes. The problem I have observed and filed a bug report on is that nautilus appears to have a problem showing the windows network devices via the Network Servers menu item or in a plain nautilus window. I have also found that it is necessary to manually add samba users to the system using the smbpasswd -a command. Doing this via swat does not seem to work as expected.
