Public bug reported:

When the server password is expired, Ubuntu gives no error message at
all.

Ubuntu 9.04 x86 - up to date as of Wed Jul  8 18:43:33 UTC 2009

Steps:
 - log in (as main/only user)
 - select menu Places / Computer
in File Browser window
 - select "Network" in left pane (location changes to network:/// )
there is already a near computer shown as icon
 - double click the computer icon
 - fill out the dialog (user, pass)

After few seconds, the user/pass dialog reappears.
Repeat, until bored.

(a semilong story about what everything I tried to resolve the problem -
not printed here)

Checking with smbclient reveals that the used password was expired.
Luckily I know that the Ubuntu GUI is next to useless and have experience with 
command line.
If this would happen to my father, we would give me a call as say "When you get 
home set mu up Windows, which works"
(relation to bug #1 ?)
