How can I get iCab under BasiliskII to see the network?

Question

I am interested in getting iCab, and/or Classilla, to work under a BasiliskII VM with System 8.7.

At present I've gotten iCab to run, but not see the network or load e.g. google.com.

I believe this is because networking is not (adequately) set up in BasiliskII or the guest.

What needs to be done so that a classic Macintosh VM sees the network from a networked Linux host?

TIA,

--UPDATE--

Thank you, @HackSlash, for the comments. When I view https://emaculation.com/doku.php/basiliskii_linux_setup online, it says:

-sudo insmod sheep_net.ko
-sudo chown “yourusername” /dev/sheep_net (this prevents you having to run as root to have network access, but you'll have to perform this step every time before starting Basilisk under a non-root account)

However, when I tried to do that I got an error:

$ sudo insmod sheep_net.ko
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module sheep_net.ko: Invalid module format

This is from a Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia system; I assumed that the Ubuntu driver would be closer than SUSE, but maybe it wasn't close enough.

Advice on which paths to take within the documentation?

Regarding questions on how networking is configured in the host, it is on a NATted LAN behind a server:

As far as networking on the guest, here are two screenshots from MacTCP, partly configured. I don't know if this is here I should be looking as it is superficially different from the documentation, but I have manual and automatic configuration displayed.

Thanks,
