Both the Windows box and the FC6 box are connected to my router, a Linksys WRT54G that I have flashed with DD-WRT so that I can use it as a DHCP and DNS server for my local network. 

So everything is working as it should? If I point the Windows IE at my Apache server on my FC6 box, I still would expect to see the http traffic but I don't. How is this supposed to work?
