peer to peer networking issue Vista

I have 2 Vista boxes (PC1 and PC2) with sharing properly enabled. I am
logging on with the same user account name and password on both. From PC 1 I
have persistent mapped drives to 2 external drives on PC 2. I able to access
these shares for a *few* days and they go off-line (Red X) unreachable. I am
also unable to reach any regular file shares on PC 2 from PC 1. There is
also a printer that is shared off PC 2 that I am unable to reach.

Here is the kicker: I am able to browse the net fine from PC 1 so networking
is working in a way. I have already reloaded PC 1 thinking there was a
corrupt file causing this and within a few days I was back in the same shape.
Unable to reach shares or printer on PC 2 from PC 1 .
Both machines use wireless NICs so I am going to try and use a different NIC
in Box 1 and see what happens.

Other suggestions???

What the heck is going on????
