Somebody help me! Strange networking issue...

Ok, I have 3 machines on my network, two linux (fc1 and fc2) and one
windows xp. Anyway, I can ping any combination I like, except from the
fc2 box to the xp box. Also samba will not work between fc2 and xp,
athough ssh and vnc do (fc2 as the server). fc1 and fc2 have samba set
up identically (both based on same smb.conf). The iptables firewall is
turned off on the fc2 box, but set to only allow the ports I want on
the fc1 box. The xp box uses zonealarm. I really dont know what could
be causing this... Anyone have any ideas?

Does it work with zonealarm(&windows firewall) turned off?
