    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
