I can boot into failsafe mode, login as root user and startx. From here i am 
able to access the internet and other pc's on the network. It does seem to be 
something with gdm?

Nope, deleting the machine from AD and re-joining the domain did not help.

Now that is odd. Basically this should act as a normal mount and
disappear when you reboot, or when you umount.

Have you made any alterations to /etc/fstab?

Is this AD or Domain Services...Is the machine registered in the Domain
and is your machine authentication local or otherwise? One thing that
does occur to me is that the AD/Domain machine account may have been
trashed (but I was under the impression that there was only very limited
client support for this anyway in Samba) and I do not think you need
this functionality to just mount a share from Linux in any case.

Bit bemused by this report, mounting a share in this way should not take
out X (unless you have an X application running from the share but that
does not make sense).
