xp1 and win7 are both listed in /etc/hosts.
So yes, they have IP addresses  :) :)

XP1 can ping win7 and can ping router, but cannot ping fedora.
win7 cannot ping either win7 or fedora. It's firewall rules
fully allow icmp in private+public+domain mode.

Fedora has these rules pertaining to the LAN:

-A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type 0 -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 0/0 -m state --state 
ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 137 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p udp -m udp --dport 137 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 138 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p udp -m udp --dport 138 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p udp -m udp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 445 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p udp -m udp --dport 445 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p udp -m udp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT

-A OUTPUT -d 192.168.1.0/24 -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -p icmp --icmp-type 8 -s 0/0 -d 0/0 -m state --state 
NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

Perhaps the 2nd output rule is redundant, but I had to make sure that 
ping were  not blocked in or out.

Checked. IP addresses are all in sync.

All 3 machines can indeed use the public net via same router.
