well, the problem is, the importation of the smb.conf file from the PCLinuxOS 
box seems to have gotten things working -- at least, it was after that that 
things worked; I did a number of things last evening, and I've noticed that 
sometimes, changes you make to Samba networking don't 'take' instantly, even 
when you restart smb and nmb services; I did also swap out the cable last 
night, but immediately after doing that, there was no change

the only remaining problem is that mounting is messed up - I can't mount my 
shares from the Fedora box, even though they mount readily from the PCLinuxOS 
machine, but at least now, all machines that are up on the lan are showing up 
in the list, and all their shares are visible

so, how does this all compute with the inability to ping? - I just don't know!
I said I wanted to really figure out what was causing these problems, 
yesterday, but, I don't feel any closer to that understanding than I did 
before I started all this.....

I need to go through those two smb.conf configuration files and see what's 
different, for one thing -- that should tell me something.
