Have you confirmed that your network interface is up and running?  Can
the Fedora machine ping the OS X machine?

Assuming you have network connectivity, what is the name of your
ethernet interface?  eth0 or something else?  You can use ifconfig to
list your interfaces.  Does it match your interfaces line in
/etc/samba/smb.conf?  I'm not sure how samba decides which interfaces to
use if they aren't explicitly listed, but a search shows someone curing
this problem by specifying his interface.
