First question - Can you ping it, or can the debian box access the network and/or Internet.
For user/groups see commands adduser, and addgroup (you can get the manual pages for these by typing in man adduser, and man addgroup at the console). There's also a couple of tools under GNOME and KDE to manage these things - apt-get install kuser gnome-system-tools - (if you're running unstable) should help you set these up.
