I have no clue how you would go about fixing the problem if this were the case, but I just wanted to offer that as a possibility.

I configure Samba and when I access it with Windows XP, the first time it asks me for a user ID. I set one up so I enter it and it happily lists resources for me which are a few folders and a printer folder. When I select a folder it asks me for a user ID again. It doesn't not bring forward the one I enter previously, so I figure that is stupid so I supply it. after that it asks again, and again, and again, and again, until I quit. Windows is a little different. It does the same thing except that it tells me that it is unable to match credentials. It is interesting that I can get as far as the list of folders. If I close it and go back in using Windows XP, it doesn't ask me for the user ID again before listing the folders because if has obviously remembered. When I select a folder, the loop comes. It asks again, and again, and again. Here is how I have the folders set up. I tried turning off the encryption but that makes it worse. When I do that, I can't even get to the list of folders. Here is how it is set up.
