Hello! First post here, thanks for the help.

I just got a Uthernet II card for my Apple IIGS, mostly just for fun and the occasional BBS. I installed Marinetti and the Uthernet II stack, installed the card into slot 4, and configured the slot to 'My Card'. In the config I do get a valid IP address but I am unable to reach any BBS (or any website from Webber). Is there something I'm missing or has anyone seen a similar issue?

Sheesh. Can't believe no answer in two months. I don't know if this will help or not, but go into the TCP/IP control panel and see if there is an UTHERNET Link Layer you can select.

Yes, check that first: in Marinetti's TCP/IP control panel the link layer/driver should be the Uthernet II entry for slot 4, not a generic Ethernet or modem driver. If it is already selected, try a static address on the same subnet with the router as gateway, then ping the gateway from the IIGS; that separates link-layer trouble from DNS/Webber. A BBS by IP is also a useful raw test. If DHCP works but pinging the gateway fails, look at router MAC filtering or client isolation.
