I'm having the same sort of  problem.  I'm relatively new to Linux; I
just downloaded Ubuntu 9.10 about a week ago and moved from Windows XP.

I have a wireless network I was able to connect to just fine elsewhere;
I just went into the file manager; clicked Network; Windows Network; and
was able to access the files.  However, on my home network, I am trying
to connect to my old XP computer (file sharing is already enabled on
it), and Ubuntu is able to find the Windows Network.  When I open it and
see "DarkShadow1215" (the name of the computer), clicking on it gives me
the password prompt, and everytime I type in my Ubuntu password, it goes
away and returns a few seconds later.  I've tried everything, from
ubuntu-username/ubuntu-password, windows-username/windows-password,
ubuntu-computer-name/ubuntu-username/ubuntu-password, windows-computer-
name/windows-username/windows-password, and then just the passwords by
themselves.  There is no error message, no anything.  Just the prompt
constantly returning as if I haven't entered in the correct password.
The windows computers are able to share with each other, it just seems
that my ubuntu netbook does not want to connect.
