If you're using unencrypted passwords, that's a known problem with
Windows--it doesn't cache the password, so it needs to re-ask every
time it needs it.  The only workaround is to enable one-or-more of the
encrypted password types.

If you aren't using plaintext passwords, you'll need to provide more
information for me to have a chance of reproducing the problem.  Open
a bug report at bugzilla.redhat.com and attach a copy of your
/etc/samba/smb.conf file and a description of your network topology
(workgroup, domain, etc) and a description of your client machine (OS,
Service Pack, etc).
