Network: I would recommend trying out the Network Switch and Router wizard first, found in Configure > Monitoring Wizards. You can also run this against SNMP enabled windows/*nix systems to get their interface information.

Disk I/O: What granularity and specific metrics are you looking to get? Are you interested in current disk usage, or actual I/O between your disks/partitions.

I am interested in actual I/O for disk on LINUX and Windows.

I/O for windows can be monitoring through performance counters:

And by running the Windows Server wizard, at the bottom you can add in the counters you wish to monitor.

As far as Linux goes, you would want to install the NRPE linux agent and install this plugin on the linux server along side it:

http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... io/details

I would however, recommend looking at that exchange site and seeing if there is another plugin you would prefer, that is simply the first one I found that matched. Once you have the agent installed, and the plugin in the system's nagios plugins directory let us know and we will help you configure a check.
