How are you trying to connect? Telnet? SSH? How exactly is the network
setup? You would have to setup an FTP server in order to access it like
that. Telnet or SSH should work fine connecting to the internal IP
address.

It depends. How do you want it setup? Do you want Debian to be a gateway
machine or do you already have another computer for that purpose? If so,
I assume you've got the Deb box routing packets through it already..
Share the specifics and I'm sure someone (me or someone else) can point
you in the right direction.
