I haven't seen any distributions set up samba from inetd by default, so
hosts.allow wouldn't make any difference.  However, you may want to see
if any firewall scripts are running.  Using the Red Hat tool "ntsysv",
see if "ipchains" or "iptables" are running.  These might be blocking
the specific ports that samba requires (somewhere in the 130s UDP,
IIRC).

In addition, you note that your workgroup name is "@home".  Just a
guess, but Samba may not like the "at" character.  Since @Home doesn't
exist anymore, and you are behind a Linksys box, you can change the name
of the workgroup to something without special characters.
