Samba Devices/Computers can't access Windows 7.

I have a sort of file/media server setup on one of my boxes as I need a few programs running on it that can't be run on anything else (Well XP, but I'd rather have 7 running on the system).

Well the problem is that none of my other computers can access it other then my main rig and another laptop which are both running Windows 7.

My Macbook and Android can't connect to the Server.
When I restart the Server, the Macbook and Android can connect to it for 30 minutes or so. As long as it's always running, it'll stay connected such as when I'm streaming a movie, but if it's inactive it'll cut the connection and will be unable to reconnect.
If my Macbook can't connect, my Android device can't and vice versa. I don't want to have to restart the Server every time I have to reconnect so any help?

I've tried changing the Local Security Policies, changed the network settings to not use 128bit encryption, but nothing is working.

On the Server it just has Windows Firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials.

when you set to share a folder are you actually selecting Share With > Specific People and then allow everyone access or a certain user account.

If your just using the Homegroup sharing then I imagine it wouldnt work.

I'm not using Homegroup at all.

When I share a folder I go :

Right click
Properties
Sharing tab
Advanced Sharing
Tick Share this Folder
Click Permissions and change it to full access for everyone
