Hi Jon, well the Network tool is one of the more advanced things in the toolset.
I would encourage you to skip that one for the time being and instead focus on some of the more simple tools like extrude, revolve, or sweep.
Network needs to have its input structured in a particular away - you need to have 2 sets of curve that cross each other and they need to cross each other in a regular pattern kind of similar to latitude and longitude lines on a globe of the world.
See this recent post for several links to examples of how you need to have the input curves arranged:

If you're still having problems with it, could you please post a 3DM model file that has the curves in it that you're trying to Network? That would make it possible for me to see what specific problem you are running into and I could then give you some more targeted advice.
But really the Network command is for making a kind of custom styled swoopy surface - that's fundamentally a more difficult task than making more regular shaped pieces like an extruded block or a revolved shape. I'd recommend trying to work with some of those other tools for a while to get more familiar with how MoI works overall instead of trying to jump into using one of the more difficult tools right off the bat.
Also really the best way to get started with the basics is to watch the tutorial videos here:
