Did you also add the linux user to the samba user database? # smbpasswd -a username

Are you able to browse it via IP, eg \\192.168.0.10\test ?
Post up you /etc/samba/smb.conf file too, that would be helpful.
Can you browse it locally on the fedora box? Either graphically in something like knoqueror or nautilus (smb://127.0.0.1) or mount it from a console (smbmount //webserver/test /mnt/mountpoint)?
