Finding windows computers on lan

[Wrobat]

I am an on again, off again linux user and still consider myself a beginner so please keep replies simple and detailed.

I have just installed fedora 11 on my laptop and trying to see my windows desktop on my home network which has shared folders.

I had used suse a couple years back was able to do this using samba but I tried getting into samba again to set it up but I didn't see anything that would work.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

What version of Windows are you using?

What is not not working
is the smb and nmb daemons running?
is the smb.conf file Okay?
Please give us more information

I'm running windows 7 rc but that shouldnt effect this since a vista computer can access it just fine.

I go into network and samba shares, it tells me it doesn't see any computers on the network. it says it may be because of the firewall but I disbaled it and it still didn't see anything.

I don't know if the smb.conf file is good. it's a fresh install.
