So I have made previous changes (basically, just removing the WAN
connection) and now Windows clients can connect with no problem.  I've
been dealing with holidays and hardware issues, so I've not been able to
delve more deeply into why my Linux clients can't connect.  At this
point, I may wait until Fedora 10 is out next month and install it on my
laptop to see if that helps me any with the client side.
