Most people use both connect/connected 'with' and connect/connected 'to' without there being any real difference in the meaning. But in general we say that when the object is a person or place name 'with' is the correct preposition especially when talking about a) having or establishing a good relationship with someone 'He tried to connect with the younger generation' or b) to place or establish someone in a relationship. 'I didn't know you were connected with that group of people'.

'be connect to ' is wrong. You can only say 'be connected to' or 'connect to' As a rule the verb after verb 'to be' has to be in a form other than the infinitiv ,either ending in 'ing' or in the Particip form ( as in 'connected).
