I stated why I did it. I'm glad to do it your way. Here's the current:

workgroup = MDKGROUP
server string = Samba Server %v
printcap name = cups
load printers = yes
printcap cache time = 60
printing = cups
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
map to guest = bad user
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = no
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
create mode = 0700
use client driver = yes
[print$]
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
browseable = yes
write list = @adm root
guest ok = yes
inherit permissions = yes
[pdf-gen]
path = /var/tmp
guest ok = No
printable = Yes
comment = PDF Generator (only valid users)
printing = bsd
print command
= /usr/share/samba/scripts/print-pdf "%s" "%H" "//%L/%u" "%m" "%I" "%J" &
lpq command = /bin/true

*******************************
and the original Fedora

grep -v '#' /etc/samba/smb.conf.original | grep -v ';'
[global]
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
ldap ssl = No
restrict anonymous = no
domain master = no
wins support = true
dns proxy = no
cups options = raw
max protocol = NT
default service = global
acl compatibility =
server signing = Auto
security = share
preferred master = no
max log size = 50
workgroup = workgroup
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
read only = no
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /usr/spool/samba
printable = yes
printer name = HPLaserJet
[cj]
path = /home/cj
guest ok = yes


testparm -s > /tmp/smb.conf.txt

and upload that

or..

grep -v '#' /etc/samba/smb.conf | grep -v ';' > /tmp/smb.conf.txt

But I'm telling you that if you can't reliably ping and nmblookup (which
is somewhat similar to a ping), you're wasting your time here.

It would not surprise me that the whole problem is something I've completely
missed. In my now currently, seemingly, working setup, I just discovered that
even though the smbk4 utility can identify all the machines, their ip
addresses, and their available shares (still un-mountable), on the lan, I
still can't ping one of those machines!
