If you have required options enabled on your phone (USB Debugging and Unknown Sources) you can try do this. On your computer open command console. Using cd navigate to your android sdk installation folder. Go to platform-tools. You should have there adb file. Run this

./adb kill-server

and then

./adb start-server

Then check plugged devices

./adb devices

Answer 5

I am assuming you don't mean connecting the device with the emulator but connecting the device to your computer so you can debug it and run applications directly from Eclipse to the device. In which case KIES by Samsung will not help you at all. What you need is the Android USB Drivers provided in the Extras tab in SDK. Sometimes the installation will bug up because you didn't run SDK manager as an administrator so make sure you do that. When all of this is done make sure your device is unconnected to your computer and then reconnect it after the drivers are installed. You should be prompted with a new device installation wizard which you must accept. Additionally, you should have debugging enabled on your device, and as an extra step you can setup launching as a manual configuration but it is not needed.

To enable device debugging

Settings -> Developer Options -> USB Debugging.

BTW : If the Google USB Drivers don't work you might need to install the specific Samsung drivers which are located here
