Well... thanks for the input... it was the firewall after all. I had
used the GUI to "disable" it but it must have still been running. I
edited the /etc/sysconfig/iptables files per another article I found and
bounced the server... still didn't work. I finally went back into the
GUI Firewall admin tool, enabled the firewall, and told it to pass
traffic for ports 80 and 443. Now I can hit the web server from both the
SuSE and WinXP boxes. I guess it won't hurt to have a firewall on this
machine, but since it's only a development server and it's sitting
behind my Internet firewall I intended to get the Fedora firewall out of
the way.
Thanks again, Morgan, for the advice.

I've looked in all the log files in /var/log/httpd. The only time I see
any activity in those log files is if I access the Fedora web server
from the Fedora machine (locally). It acts as if Apache is never seeing
the traffic from the other two machines, but it appears to me that the
OS is seeing the requests. That's what let me to look for (and find) the
Fedora firewall running.
-Disabled the Fedora firewall as it was enabled when the build was
complete.
-Have changed /var/www/html and all it's contents to be owned by
user/group apache/apache, all have 755 permissions.
Try going from the Fedora box to the SuSE box. If that works, routing
is working one way. Make sure everything is in place and you //may//
just find your problem.
I will work that direction a little more. I actually hoped that in the
act of trying to describe the problem the solution would come to me, as
seems to happen quite often. I agree... it behaves like a routing
problem except I can ping and TN both directions... so it seems like
it's got to be a Transport or Session layer thing. I've been looking for
some clue that would indicate either httpd or the OS is trapping or
rejecting the packets but I'm striking out.
