samba - Jul 2013 - Unable to connect to Samba server, but it shows on the network

Hello friends

I am trying to setup Samba on my Fedora 19 installation, but it does not work...
although "smbclient -L myserver" shows my shares, I can't access
any of them from other computers and even from the same server, it returns an
error that could not connect to to the server...

My very simple configuration is this (my computer has fixed IP)

[global]
??????? workgroup = MYGROUPNAME
??????? server string = Samba Server Version %v

??????? # log files split
per-machine:?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
??????? log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
??????? # maximum size of 50KB per log file, then
rotate:??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
??????? max log size = 50

??????? security = user
??????? passdb backend = tdbsam

??????? load printers = yes
??????? cups options = raw

[tmp]
comment = temporal files
path = /tmp
public = yes
writable = yes
printable = no

[mp3]
comment = my data files
path = /mydatafiles
public = yes
writable = no
printable = no


I start the service by running

# smbd -D
# nmbd -D

then the logs show:

log.nmbd:
-------------
[2013/07/11 21:11:47,? 0] ../source3/nmbd/nmbd.c:883(main)
? nmbd version 4.0.7 started.

? *****
? Samba name server MYSERVER is now a local master browser for workgroup
MYGROUPNAME on subnet 192.168.1.20
? *****

log.smbd:

? smbd version 4.0.7 started.

When I try:

# smbclient -L myserver (the name of my computer)

Anonymous login successful
Domain=[MYGROUPNAME] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.0.7]

??????? Sharename?????? Type????? Comment
??????? ---------?????? ----????? -------
??????? tmp???????????? Disk????? temporal files
??????? mp3???????????? Disk????? mp3 music
??????? IPC$??????????? IPC?????? IPC Service (Samba Server Version 4.0.7)
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[SORCERY] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.0.7]

??????? Server?????????????? Comment
??????? ---------??????????? -------
??????? MYSERVER ??????? Samba Server Version 4.0.7

??????? Workgroup??????????? Master
??????? ---------??????????? -------
??????? MYGROUPNAME ???????????? MYSERVER


From windows computers, it shows on the network, from Linux (dolphin browser) it
does not show but calling 'smbclient -L myserver' it shows the shared
directories... how can I allow other computers to connect? and how can I allow
my local computer see its own shares?

Thanks for your help

Being Fedora, 1st check selinux configuration:
