Yes, this does make more sense. Sounds like a problem with the samba client piece. Question for clarification: Are you really running a Windows domain or just a workgroup? Specifically, is there a Windows domain with a domain controller that authenticates everyone? If so, what version of Windows Server is it running (NT4, W2K Server, Win Server 2K3)? The reason I'm asking is because you mentioned joining the domain. If you're actually using a workgroup and you can see the notebook from your WinXP system and it does not appear in a separate workgroup/domain, the samba server on the notebook is probably set up correctly. You may have a few issues from the notebook side with host name resolution. Are you able to ping from the notebook by host name or just IP address? Also, I believe there are a few things that were fixed early on in FC3 with the samba client related to browsing. Make sure you have the latest updates installed. Those should be: samba-common-3.0.10-1.fc3 samba-client-3.0.10-1.fc3 samba-3.0.10-1.fc3 The command rpm -qa samba* should tell you this and, if you're Internet connected, the command yum -y update samba should get you to the latest versions as well. Final note (I know someone will say something otherwise). List traditions and preferences here are that you should post in plain text and not HTML.
