To put a possibly new ending on this thread, I mostly have 
everything working now. I switched form firestarter to the 
Fedora utility, system-config-firewall, the version that's in 
rawhide. There was no ambiguity about rules in this GUI. I post 
the following for information:

# iptables --list
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
RH-Firewall-1-INPUT  all  --  anywhere             anywhere

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
REJECT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere            
reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain RH-Firewall-1-INPUT (1 references)
target     prot opt source               destination
ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere
ACCEPT     icmp --  anywhere             anywhere            icmp 
any
ACCEPT     esp  --  anywhere             anywhere
ACCEPT     ah   --  anywhere             anywhere
ACCEPT     udp  --  anywhere             224.0.0.251         udp 
dpt:mdns
ACCEPT     udp  --  anywhere             anywhere            udp 
dpt:ipp
ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            tcp 
dpt:ipp
ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere            
state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            
state NEW tcp dpt:domain
ACCEPT     udp  --  anywhere             anywhere            
state NEW udp dpt:domain

state NEW tcp dpt:ssh

REJECT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere

******************************************************
The above rule-set is much simpler and clearer than the one 
generated by Firestarter. This did not end up fixing the issues 
I was having, unfortunately. The final piece in the puzzle was 
yielded up by some curious log messages I was getting, and by 
some errors I was getting running Konqueror related to DCOP 
(from their home page: "DCOP is a simple IPC/RPC mechanism built 
to operate over sockets...Each application using DCOP is a 
client. They communicate to each other through a DCOP server, 
which functions like a traffic director, dispatching 
messages/calls to the proper destinations.") The DCOP component 
of KDE was somehow getting it's configuration files mangled in 
some way, which was having the effect of occasionally locking up 
my file-browser window. Running the following 
command, "rm /home/cj/.DCOPserver_*__0" and rebooting seemed to 
fix it temporarily, but, then I learned there was an issue 
related to my problem, that had been fixed in an upcoming 
version of some KDE related files, that would become available 
soon. I reverted my kdebase to an earlier version after another 
lockup occurred, even though I was able to cure it again by 
running the above command. Along in there, I also deleted the 
two Samba socket options from my samba.conf that Craig suggested 
I take out in a previous post in this thread. Those changes 
seemed to take care of things. I'm now successfully able to see 
all shares on all machines, and mount them, from my Fedora box. 
All Windows boxes can see the shared directory and printer on my 
Fedora box, and can print to the shared printer. That's lasted 
about 18 hours so far... I'm using the utility smbk4 on Fedora 
to see my Windows shares and mount them - once mounted, they all 
appear in a folder, smbk4, in my home directory, and clicking on 
those shares yields up all the shared directories on my Windows 
boxes. One other thing I changed along in there was to name the 
Fedora box as the domain master and preferred master, and it's 
now reliably getting elected as the master browser - this is the 
one machine that's always on in my household, so it seemed to 
make sense. 

Hope this helps someone - if someone spots any errors in what 
I've done, please let me know.
