Needing Good Neural Network (Classification) Design

Good day! I am somewhat new to neural setworks and to the nnet toolbox.
Basically, I have six inputs and 32 categories for the output.
The ranges of my inputs are the following: [50, 1060] [70, 590] [385 725] [80 170] [0, 800] [0, 180] corresponding to: x and y coordinates, another x and y coordinates, a distance (most significant), and an angle(more significant) respectively.
And my current idea for the output is to have 5 binary targets to represent the 32 categories.
My questions are: (1) What is the ideal network topology for this, training functions and parameters/ etc. (2) What is the ideal way to standardize/rescale/normalize my inputs based from their ranges(and significance?)
I'm already trying some ideas but my performance(MSE) wont drop below 0.1. I just want to know how will you do it exactly if it were you in my place. :)
Thank you in advance!
PS: Hi, Sir Greg! This is a semi-independent topic from my other post, so I still need your ideas there if you have time. Thx :)

Sir Greg? I must be getting old because I don't remember being knighted.
Why aren't you consulting the examples in the documentation?
I favor zscore or mapstd normalization to investigate outliers.
I use MSEgoal = 0.01*Neq*mean(var(targets'))/(Neq-Nw)
Search my posts and answers in NEWSGROUPS and ANSWERS using
Neq Nw Ntrials.
