I did reboot after inetstup.pkg and enetsup.pkg and NE2K.pkg. NE2K.pkg *MUST* be the pkg from the Einstein download site. There are unfortunatley other packeges with the same name.

Thanks. I am now able to view very simple web sites (no javascript, CSS, etc.) with NetHopper.  I've read that Newts Cape is better supported so will try that next.

I am not sure about the order in which I installed these pieces so is there a way to uninstall packages? Or should I just go back to square one.
