Dave,

Fedora will be fine as a basic network time server. If NTP isn't already installed on the system, all you have to do is type (as
root):

yum install ntp

The default config usually queries the NTP Pool. Depending on where you live you might want to edit the file to use only your
country's NTP Pool servers, or even some local servers that you know of.

You can then set your windows machines on your network to query your fedora machine for time. If they can't connect then the
firewall is probably blocking UDP/123.
