Public bug reported:

original bug #1572876 was marked as fixed as it solved OP's issue, but
it isn't working for me(and others reading through the comments)

Hello, I too was hit with this
issue(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1572876) on
updating to 4.3.8, updated to 4.3.9 and still the same issue follows.
Although my shares I'm trying to access aren't on another computer, but
an external USB HDD on my router.

My external drive is NTFS with no password/share enabled, but in my
router I set users' access(username/password) to access this external
HDD. It worked fine prior to the 4.3.8 update, now when I try to access
via Thunar, the login floater just keeps popping up not allowing me to
access HDD.

I've even tried to set my user account in my router(HDD access) to match
my Ubuntu account credentials, still fails.

I was on Xubuntu 14.04 when this update occurred, several days later I
installed Xubuntu 16.04 and issue followed.

Thanks
