I don't know if this will help anyone else, but I have had this same problem for ages now, and have searched high and low, but have yet to find a solution. Well, today, I was working on it again, as it started up with wanting a username and password again, and well, here was my solution, and so far it's working like a charm.

I have a C: Drive, D: Drive, E: Drive, G: Drive and DVD-Rom being shared to my XBOX. Well, I realized that I did not have a disc in the DVD-Rom (in my PC), so I unshared the Rom, rebooted the XBOX and voila. It works like a charm. I then tested it, by re-sharing the empty DVD-Rom, and it again asked for UN and PW. I then inserted a disc, rebooted XBOX, and voila, she works again!!! So, to solve my headaches, I will just leave the rom unshared!!

Hope this helps at least one other person!!

Going to try this tonight as I think I may have shared my DVD-ROM at some point...if this works I'll be well impressed! Getting asked for UN and PW when trying to access Win7 shares. Tried the 'computer part of home network, not business' trick, but the setting won't save after OK'ing. If I set up shares before hand directly on Ubuntu box that XBMC is running on the XBMC can access ok. To do that though I had to edit the file (can't remember the name!) manually - I couldn't get to the Win7 server through the Ubuntu file manager as even that kept asking for username/pass. Grrrrrr!
