Someone with more recent experience in setting up a Classic II may need to way in here.

In the meantime here are my thoughts:

1). You probably don't have a local DHCP server (otherwise it would have assign a better IP address and a gateway - which is hasn't). Was the screen shot taken when plugged into the Macbook or the Netgear Router? I'm guessing it was connected to the Macbook.

2). Try plugging into the Netgear Router and see what settings the Classic II gives. I am assuming the Netgear will have a DHCP server in it and that you have NAT (network address translation) enabled

3). You need to identify the Gateway settings for your Netgear router (your Macbook will show this when connected correctly). Same for your DNS settings.

4). You need to identify an unused IP address on your NAT LAN network (ie not your Router's gateway and not your Macbook) that the Classic II can use (needs to have the same subnet - ie first three sets of numbers of all units on your NAT LAN network: 192.168.1.X or similar)

5). On the Classic II choose manual settings and put in the Gateway and unique IP you selected for your Classic II. Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0

6). Save the settings and restart the Classic II (the older OSes need to be restarted to use new IP settings)

I'm sure my memory has forgotten something in here - others might jump in to help.

Good luck!
