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 ?
Regards.
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.
When i realized i had misspelled idiotic as idotic, i decided to google.
Here it is :

who says irritation/anger can teach you nothing.
Including when to apologize. I already regret my rash words. My
apologies Dr. Dupre for calling for composure and maturity when I am
obviously incapable at the moment. If you would care to furnish more
specific information about your particular situation, I think you will
find your problem is easily resolved. If not , well who can blame you.
Best of luck.
