networking

I have Scientific Linux, based on Red Hat Enterprise. I don't see any support groups, so here I am...

I'm having trouble figuring out how to set up home networking. I can ping my windows machine from the Linux box and can ping the Linux box from Windows. Under Applications, network servers in Linux it shows Windows Network. Under File in the network window if I try to Open, I get a bland screen and if I try to browse folder I get smb:/// and that's all. I have a home network set up and working with all other computers: Two other Windows machines and three Linux boxes, two of which are running Ubuntu and one running SUSE and they all work fine with both file sharing and print sharing. I can't see the Scientific Linux box from any other system in the house.

From the Scientific box I access the Internet - as I do with all other computers - through a cable modem, router and hub.

Any suggestions?
