Well, good luck, then. Trying to connect with NCU over AppleTalk on Ethernet
is pretty straightforward and is generally the first step you take before
trying to surf on the Internet to make sure the card works fine with your
given wireless router. There aren't a lot of settings: NCU set to AppleTalk.
AppleTalk in OS 9 set to Ethernet on the Mac (although I think you can't set
this from OS X, you would have to reboot in 9 to make sure it is set), the
card set to be used for AppleTalk and the Dock set to use AppleTalk. That's
it. No IP address or any other kind of settings are needed. If you can't
connect with this setup, there are good chances that you won't be able to
get on the Internet, I'm afraid...
-Laurent.
