If you are just looking for file sharing, you should be able to create an account for accessing the Windows file sharing service for your Windows clients.

Do you have a directory service running such as Active Directory? If you do, you should integrate the Leopard Server into the AD domain so that you can use the domain usernames and passwords. If you don't you could consider creating an Open Directory Master and a PDC on the Leopard Server. The PDC is there to support the Windows domain login. Conversely, if you are not interested in the PDC, there are third party tools that you can use to integrate Windows PCs into an existing Open Directory domain through LDAP.

If you have the same username and password on your Leopard Server and on your Windows clients, you may have a UID matching issue with your permissions as well. They may both have the same shortname, but the UIDs won't match.
