I use 10MB EtherNet for my network, with an 802.11b wireless segment.
Internet access is provided by a 3MB cable connection.
This website is hosted on my server over the above cable connection.

Well, there's not really much to it. Grab a computer with lots of hard drive space, load your server OS (NT, Win2K, Linux, etc.) and set up the network...
Anything specific that you need to know?

Those are very broad questions....
There is no minium HD requirement, though I would consider 40Gig to be a "minimum" that I would want to work with. In my experience, I would use NT 4 Server. Should be cheap to find nowadays, and it is very reliable. If you want something free, go with any number of Linux distros....
Security depends very much on what you want to use the server for. If it is just a home file server, then security isn't really a concern. If it is a webserver, putting it behind a NAT firewall basically eliminates all Windows exploits, so the only thing you have to worry about is your webserver software. Need more info...

A WinNT server will talk to all of those systems, as will any Linux distro.
