I changed the name to vrproductions2 and added this name to my 'hosts' file - 
is that the proper procedure?

After making the changes you suggest in your last paragraph and rebooting, I 
get this in the log:

testparm gives me the following:

cj]# testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[CJ home]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE
Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions

# Global parameters
[global]
        netbios name = VRPRODUCTIONS2
        server string = Samba
        interfaces = 192.168.2.1, 127.0.0.1
        bind interfaces only = Yes
        security = SHARE
        server signing = auto
        preferred master = No
        domain master = No
        ldap ssl = no

[CJ home]
        path = /home/cj
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes
        hosts allow = 192.168.2., 127.
        case sensitive = No
        msdfs proxy = no

testparm -v gives me a huge list - nothing jumps off the page at me, but I 
wouldn't want to suggest I really know what to look for

There's some progress, however. I now have access from my Windows machine, the 
above referenced machine in the smbd.log 'StudyPC' to my shared folder on the 
Fedora machine. The Fedora machine still can't see the Windows machine, tho.
