This is known behaviour. NT post SP3 defaults to encrypting the
passwords. If you are not using encrypted passwords, then you will be
re-propmted for userid/password each time you attempt to make a
connection. You need to turn on encrypted passwords, and you need to
make sure you understand the consequences that this may have to your
users first.
