I have my 2 PC in my network one Vista an one XP. I don't think that has anything to do with my issue though.

I want to share folders from my XP PC to my Laptop (Vista). I set up my firewall on the PC to file share by opening port 445 to my host computer (XP).

All is good until my PC is rebooted or sleeps. Then the only way I can get it to re-connect is to disable my firewall the re-enable it..., why do I have to keep doing this?
