I've never activated that classic/advanced preference and it has always
worked. The only thing I can suggest is, once in NCU, check the preferences
to make sure it's trying to connect through AppleTalk and uncheck the serial
connection, since there is no serial communication in OS X, even if your
computer has a serial port. If you have a serial to USB adapter, then that's
a different story.
The only other thing that is different in your setup from my setup is that I
don't use a crossover cable, but a switch.
