Double check name spelling, subnet mask, etc.

STUDYPC or STUDIOPC ? Names are not matching.

Again you seem to have used 2 different names. If it is really STUDIOPC, 
then maybe it, and not STUDYPC, should be in the hosts and lmhosts 
files (of especially the Fedora box in this case, although the file 
should be mirrored on all the boxes).

Simplify the task: can you ping STUDYPC or STUDIOPC?
