Addendum: I have now discovered something interesting enlightening this
problem. When I try Linux Mint 17 XFCE from usb (without installing to
computer) I am able to mount smb inside Thunar (smb://XXX.XXX.XX/XXX). I
just have to write username, domain and password once. When I install
the same system to the same computer the username-domain-password prompt
keeps reappering without mounting the folder.

Title:
  Gvfs keeps asking for password when trying to mount Samba share

Status in GVFS:
  New
Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  My Ubuntu Desktop (9.10, 64-bit) VM can't connect to my Windows 7
  (64-bit, Ultimate) File Share using Nautilus. I enter
  "smb://<comuterName>" in the address bar and then it comes up with a
  password dialog (see screenshot) and then after entering the correct
  login info, the dialog disappears for a second or two but then
  reappears again. The dialog always comes back up and the share is
  never mounted.

      * Connecting from an XP box on the network to the windows 7 share works just fine.
      * Connecting from the Ubuntu machine to the windows 7 share using the appropriate 'smbmount' command works just fine.
      * Connecting from the Ubuntu machine (using the nautilus GUI) to the XP box (password protected) works just fine.
      * Then I turned off password protection in Win7, rebooted the win7 machine, and still all of the above tests turned out the same. And the Ubuntu machine still doesn't connect to the windows share using the nautilus GUI, and still displays the password dialog even though no password is required anymore.
      * I tried using smbclient to view the shares, here is the output (not sure if I should be trying something else using the smbclient program):
            o eddie@eddie-ubuntu:~$ smbclient -L eddie-win7
              Enter eddie's password:
              session setup failed: SUCCESS - 0
