It has PCMCIA modules. My network card claims to be an NE2000
compatible (It's a Linksys), and it was recognized properly, so NE2000
should be no problem. Whether or not it will be able to recognize
_your_ card is a different story, but I don't think there should be any
problems.
I would assume that it has whatever NFS modules, since IIRC NFS is one
of the installation options. But I always just install over http, so I
don't know about this one.

For Windows, you'd have to look into samba. There is a samba HOWTO that
you can look at. You'll also have to pick which printer daemon to use
- -- there's lpr, lprng, and CUPS that I know of. I think that all of
them can be used with samba. For getting them to work with Linux
clients, probably the hardest part is just configuring the clients.
