In this paper, we study some potential theoretic properties of connected infinite networks and then investigate the space of p-Dirichlet finite functions on connected infinite graphs, via quasi-monomorphisms. A main result shows that if a connected infinite graph of bounded degrees possesses a quasi-monomorphism into the hyperbolic space form of dimension n and it is not p-parabolic for p > n - 1, then it admits a lot of p-harmonic functions with finite Dirichlet sum of order p.
