skip first line using sed

First thanks for help with my other posts - sed skills progressing
slowly :)
I'd like to delete all lines containtg the word "Network" except the
first line in the file but all variations of the syntax I've tried
won't work.
Please can someone tell me how to correctly form this command.

Thanks William did the trick - I was no where near

- John - Perl is next I think we're going to use it as our all singing
all dancing file manipulation language under the Visual Perl guise from
ActiveState - any comment?

Well ... I don't use Windows, and I don't use an IDE. For editing I
usually use MC's built-in editor or sometimes VIM or maybe NEdit or Kate
but most of the small stuff, like one-liners, are written and tested in
XTerm. I guess I'd have to endorse ActiveState since they are a local
company and they let us hold our PM[1] meetings there. :-)
