Use
   netstat -lnveep

to list open ports and display the programs using them.

I don't know fedora either, but try:

   iptables -n -L

and it it spews forth lots and lots of lines, then there is local 
firewalling.

You can turn all iptable firewalling off with:

   iptables --flush
   iptables --delete-chain

but it will restore upon reboot (probably)

Whether turning all firewalling off is a good thing or not, is up to you, 
but as it's on a private LAN, then I'd suggest it's probably OK.
