Hi NeXT folks! I recently rebuilt my home network, and now my trusty NeXT TurboColor can't get back online for some reason. I've followed this guide (
http://www.nextcomputers.org/NeXTfiles/Docs/TjLs_Cable_Modem_Guide.pdf) for setting up a home LAN connection and I'm *so close* to getting it working. In my router configuration (I'm using an eero mesh network), I've assigned the NeXT machine the IP 192.168.7.40.
With the settings you see in this screenshot (

I've added my DNS servers (just the public ones Comcast provides) to the /etc/resolv.conf file too, if that matters.
What am I missing here? Thanks in advance for any tips!

Quick update: I got it working! All it turns out that I needed was to re-assign the NeXT's IP address from 192.168.7.40 to 192.168.4.40 in my eero router - once I did that, everything started working as intended.
Whew!
