It explains why "smbclient -L StudyPC" did lead you to the foreign host.
Why did you set "search com"? Anyway, has nothing to do with Samba or
your setup problems at all.

That is at least no correct setting. I do not understand why you did set
it.

server signing (G)
        
        This controls whether the server offers or requires the client
        it talks to to use SMB signing. Possible values are auto,
        mandatory and disabled. 
        
        When set to auto, SMB signing is offered, but not enforced. When
        set to mandatory, SMB signing is required and if set to
        disabled, SMB signing is not offered either.
        
        Default: server signing = Disabled

Why don't you just use the smb.conf as how it ships with Fedora's rpm
and adjust it slightly? And being sure which each command stands for.

Make sure your network setup is properly (IPs / netmask). You can test
netbios host resolving by running

nmblookup <name of your samba host>

Again, to exclude problems like iptables blocking make sure "smbclient"
and "smbstatus" on localhost gives proper results.
