Are those things correlated ?
Possibly. Do you have samba installed?i
Yes, seems running fine
The FC7 machine does not see the "microsoft machines", when these ones
see each other. Why should this have something to do with the
firewall of the FC7 ?
The XP machines run a firewall but this should not prevent to see the
machines, eventually, the FC7 machine will not be able to login.
Am I wrong ?

Does your firewall have the ports for
samba open? Are you attempting to connect to a printer on a Windows
computer? Does it have a firewall? What kind of firewall does it have?
Is it Norton or McAfee ? Both Norton and McAfee suck donkey balls. You
are pretty vague about what exactly you are doing. Perhaps if you are
more specific , then you will get more help. I understand the
frustration but you claim the Dr title so perhaps a little maturity
and composure are in order.

Quit whining and check the firewall config. Check the workgroup/domain
that the windows machines use. I use the only linux based workstation
where I work and i have no trouble accessing the windows network. I see
even the hidden shares. So have you considered maybe your missing
something simple or is your first reaction to start complaining to the
list. How about a list of the things you have checked or tried to adjust
to solve your problem. BTW the point of a firewall is to interfere with
things. Half the firewalls designed to work with windows don't work as
advertised more than half the time. I see more of windows and its
idotic problems than i care to discuss.
Good Luck.
