Okay Terry, Basicly - as for the network, during the setup (before you reboot), you need to load the module for your network card. On an old system you're most likely to have a generic ne2000 or 8139too. If you get the right module installed and Debian can make an eth0 of it, you will get network config after the hostname config.
Apt-get sources in aust, there are a few. But unfortunatly I think all the apt mirrors will have woody on them by now. However, run apt-setup, and it will set up the sources, otherwise theres: au.debian.org ftp.iinet.net.au (Perth -- use this if you have iiNet Bliink ADSL, as it doesnt count to your d/l limit!) mirror.cse.unsw.edu.au (Sydney) mirror.monash.edu.au (victoria) mirror.aarnet.edu.au planetmirror.com.au (brisbane) ^^there are a few, but you'll want to probably use http for most of them - as with ftp sometimes you'll get "Too many users" for the more popular servers. Anyway - if you are new to installing Debian - take a look at www.aboutdebian.com which has some good guides, etc. Good luck going to Deb!
