on windows systems, add the ip address of the fedora machine to the wins server section in the 'Advanced' tab of the TCP/IP properties of the network adaptors or if you are using dhcp, add this info to the wins section of your dhcp server. Restart samba on the fedora machine 'service smb restart' and you should be able to browse Windows Networking in a short amount of time.

Hey thanks Craig I can connect directly to the share via name as oppossed to just IP now.
But what if my wireless router (home network) is set up as the dhcp server?
I do not see a wins section in my router setup page for this Netgear
WGT264 I have. Is there anyway to add the Linux box to my lmhosts on
the XP box to have this work?
---- absolutely - that is indeed one way of getting NETBIOS names to resolve to a specific ip address without WINS...
on my windows xp machine, I would want a file called
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts
and an entry like...
192.168.1.1 NETBIOS_NAME
see lmhosts.sam
of course, lmhosts is not dynamic and any changes will have to be manually recorded to each Windows computer (or samba computers) using this instead of WINS

Craig,
I made all suggested modification.
I want to report my experience: sometimes I connect to my shared folders, sometimes I see the workgroup, the list of computers, the list of shared folders, but I can't connect, and even if I close the windows, Nautilus has to be killed in system monitor.
After killing, I may connect (not always...).
Another information is that I am running Iptables, but I have no restrictions on the internal network, I can connect to my samba shares immediately from my Windows machines....
Similar configuration was working fine in FC2
Tnx
