No amiga can take ISA network card directly. Some bridgeboards allow you to use them, however. You'd still need a supported card (it needs to have the msdos packet driver). See Etherbridge12.lha. Personally I wouldn't bother with ISA stuff.

Anyway, if you'd have the NIC running then you'd need to install the TCP/IP stack: http://www.acc.umu.se/~patrikax/amiga/guides/AmiTCP_Install/

When done, you could install any network app and it'd work. For example smbfs is handy for accessing network shares.
