Well there is no doubt that both linux and windows use the same tcp/ip, the 
question
is just what you want to do?  you'll be able to use windows telnet and ftp to 
gain
access to your debian box (assuming you're running telnetd and ftpd) and if you 
get
ftp server software for windows you and ftp to the windows box.  I don't think 
that
samba will work over tcp/ip, someone correct me if I'm wrong.  But what exactly 
are
you trying to do?  Are you setting up a LAN?  Or are you trying to connect two
machines at different locations via the internet?
