Indeed smb.service is not in /usr/lib/systemd/system

Still no smb.service file

What creates /usr/lib/systemd/system/smb.service?

On my system:

zooty> rpm -q -f /usr/lib/systemd/system/smb.service 
samba-4.13.9-0.fc33.x86_64

Didn't notice that samba itself was not installed. Still get the dreaded

Want to connect multiple fedora 33 systems to each other and to windows 
10 systems

The directions samba has gone are split into many threads without a 
definite fedora map.

This one looked fantastic

but wasn't

I assume you installed the samba server and started it.  Did you check 
the firewall?

As Tom noted, you've installed everything except the Samba *server*. 
The package is called "samba".
