Check the xbmc folder (where your settings are), it's in the folder called "userdata", so post the info inside sources.xml here.

When I used to keep my shares on a Windows machine I would run into this frustration all the time. I tracked my cause down to the "Windows Live ID Sign-In Assistant" via numerous posts on this forum. It's bound to their Live Messenger program and (I think) any extra bloat MS tries to shove into your system under the Games for Windows name. It seems that this "Assistant" piece of junk's sole purpose is to destroy access to your samba shares. I certainly never witnessed it providing it's valuable assistance signing in to anything... Once I'd uninstalled Windows Live Messenger (along with assistant) the usename/password prompt went away.

To add to the frustration, even once you've successfully removed the assistant, if you have your Windows system set to auto-update our friends at Microsoft will shoehorn the garbage back into your setup under the guise of a "critical update". Then you'll come home, flop on the sofa, think you're going to fire up a movie and get this little gem: "file is no longer available, would you like to remove it from the library?". Blah. Time to kill the assistant again...

If you find that this is your problem, do yourself a favor and uninstall anything that has to do with Windows Live and make sure you shut off Windows auto-update. Perhaps try Trillain for your IM needs. It's actually a much better program anyway. Or take it one step further like I did and build an UnRAID server.

Hope this helped.

A few other things to try is double check that the workgroup name is set to the same thing in both XBMC and Windows (generally WORKGROUP or MSHOME) and it wouldn't hurt to go ahead and build a profile in windows with access rights to use for the credentials of. Something clever like a user named XBMC and a password of XBMC.
