Ok... samba was not running. If I run the following line '/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start' the Samba share appears in the XP box network browser.

So > I thought Samba was not running... but do not know how to check it... What version of samba are you running? How did you install it? configure or rpm? What errors are you getting when you try to map a drive? You'll have to supply some more information first, run those two commands from the shell, on your Fedora box. and tell us what they output. Do you know that samba is started? the command `ps -wuax | grep -E "smb|nmb"` should return two differnt processes - smbd and nmbd. Also the command `smbstatus` will give you info about samba shares. are you seeing anything in your log files on Fedora from the xp box, which would be log.machinename or log.ip.address and are most likely stored in /var/log or /var/log/samba. If so what do they say?
