The way a 6200 -should- come apart for a HD change is to just unclip the front bezel (with the clips under the front edge) and then unplug the HD data & power cables, then the HD slides out

Usually with all the fiddling that's happened in near 10 years of the machine's life it ends up a bit harder than that :)

The network cards for those are cheap & plentiful on ebay. Take a peek for LC PDS Ethernet cards. They come in all flavours - RJ45, AUI, AAUI and BNC connectors. It's not too hard to find an RJ45 one.

They should be about $5 to $10US

is a horrible looking url that should take you to ebay search results =).

You can also use Comm Slot I cards in a 6200. They're a bit rarer, but work just as well.
