1 - what mode is SELinux (you can figure that out from
system-config-securitylevel and clicking the SELinux tab).

If it is in 'enforcing' mode, it is likely to be your problem. Either
set it to permissive or report back here and we will try to help you
with configuration changes necessary to use samba & SELinux

2 - Is firewall enabled? (also configured from
system-config-securitylevel)

If it is enabled, do you have samba checked to allow Fedora system to
accept connections on the common Windows ports?

3 - Permissions on /misc/R2313

Does 'wheel' group have write permissions? What is (unedited) output of 
ls -ld /misc/R2313
?

What you reported above doesn't make sense since you edited it.

Are the users for whom you added samba passwords also members of the
'wheel' group?

4 - Permissions on home directories - wouldn't suggest that you change
them at all. They should be available to the users from their login
however the only way 'home' directories are automatically mounted from
the magical Windows HOMES share is if you do domain controller & join
the Windows machines to Windows (samba) domain controller, which is
beyond the efforts a normal user would probably want to go.
