Did you add the ports 137:udp , 138:udp, 139:tcp and 445:tcp to your 
firewall configuration?
I have an FC4 installation that works great. The IP addresses are static 
and masked in 255.255.255.0 - I did note that having different masks on 
certain machines caused computer name resolutions to fail and you would 
have to use the computer IP addresses.

I set SAMBA up using the GUI configuration tool. Are you configuring 
SAMBA using the CLI or are you using the GUI?
