Thank you!

In principle it should be possible from Windows to Mac according to the 
feature description.

I founded in

     http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=151667

that

"If you want to use a user account that existed before you installed 
Mac OS X Panther, you may need to reset the password for the account 
using Accounts preferences."

And the user I tried to log in with existed before the upgrade to 
Panther. A brand new user could log in without a problem, the Windows 
machine just needed to go to

     \\local_dns_name_of_de_mac\foo

to see foo's shared stuff on the Mac. The only problem now is that 
Explorer showed foo's Home, instead of foo's Public. That's the next 
thing I need to fix.
