Samba config FC3


Hey everyone, I know this is gonna sound stupid but i cant figure out how to see the Windows files on my windows network. Seeing linux files from XP is fine, but i cant figure out how to find windows files. I go to Computer>Network>Windows Network and i dont see anything, although i have 3 other computers running full share on the network. Im guessing i somehow have to do it with samba, if someone could just give me a little 'howto' itd be much appreciated

P.S. Its a network off of a small Netgear router.

[EDIT]: Sorry everyone, it was just the firewall, i had accidentally set it to block, but i cant figure out how to open up a whole to allow it to access (i still would like the firewall active although i dont really need it). I was just wondering if it was a port i needed to open (80?) or an option in the firewall config.
