Samba SMB Issue - Windows Can't See Share

[cwelber]

I am running the FC4, and I ran the SAMBA setup and set a folder to be shared for everyone. I also started the NFS and Samba services, for some reason my windows client can ping the Linux box, but it does not see the share?

Any troubleshooting ideas here?

the default FC4 firewall does not have the ports used by Samba open. you probably need to open them. this thread might help:

Edit: also, you don't need to run the NFS service for Samba to work
