How do I use Steam In-Home Streaming between Fedora (client) and Windows 8 (server)? - Side View Photo of Smiling Woman in a Black and White Striped Top Sitting on a Bed While Using a Laptop

My main gaming machine is a Windows 8 box attached to my TV. When my husband wants to watch TV, I like to play games from my laptop. Since switching OS from Ubuntu to Fedora on my laptop, Steam has stopped detecting the gaming machine as an in-home streaming server.

What is preventing this, and how can I remedy it so that I can once again stream games to my laptop?
