Thanks a lot, Alexander and Tim, for your precious help!!! :=>

problem resolved!
I've tried to use the FQDN fedora3.home (home is also the Samba workgroup
for the 2 machines)
and apparently all works well...in case of problems I'll apply the Tim
suggestion renaming with .localhost or .test


thanks again,

Fabiano
