Mar 27, 2017 at 5:56 comment added user1225 When $N$ is finite, $\text{Ext}_\mathcal{C}^k (N, \mathbb{Z})=0$ for $k \neq 1$ by Example 1.10 of chapter I of Milne's book on Arithmetic Duality theorem (2nd edition). And as already answered below, $\text{Ext}_\mathcal{C}^1 (N, \mathbb{Z})=\text{Ext}_\mathcal{C}^0 (N, \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}) = \text{Hom}_{G}(N, \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z})=\text{Hom}_{G}(\mathbb{Z}, N^D)=H^0(G, N^D)$.
Mar 27, 2017 at 5:48 comment added user1225 @Chris I wonder that $\text{Ext}_\mathcal{C}^k (\mathbb{Z}, M)$ is isomorphic to $\text{Ext}_{\mathcal{C}}^k (M^D, \mathbb{Z}^D)$, by taking Pontryagin duality. I saw a reference that this is true for $k=0, 1$ though
Mar 24, 2017 at 12:15 comment added Chris Wuthrich Take the Pontryagin dual of the extension given in the above comment. This is an element of $\operatorname{Ext}^k_{\mathcal{C}}(M^D,\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z})$. Now use the isomorphism to $\operatorname{Ext}^{k+1}_{\mathcal{C}}(M^D,\mathbb{Z})$ in R. van Dobben de Bruyn's answer. Or do I miss something?
