search in bugzilla. although there hasn't been feedback on this, it 
seems to be a bug. try to access your share directly 
//servername/Install. it should be able to access directly. but going 
through the server first via //servername, it's the only time it will 
ask for a password. i have the same setup on my laptop. hopefully it's 
fixed soon, as it always worked without problems on FC1. of note is to 
check the samba.org bug list. there seems to be a bug in 3.0.3 with 
regards to security=share setting. it's been fixed in 3.0.4, but i have 
no idea if it's the same bug.

so basically, just try to access the share directly. works here.
