So I did my best. I looked at the FAQ. I read through
the entire thing and yet didn't find any indication as
to the sollution of my particular problem. I'm going
to solve my initial problem by getting one of those
6mb cards that was advertised earlier for creating a
full B/U of my Newt for the upgrade. But eventually I
want to add a Network card and will be needing to send
pkgs to my Newt...So, do we know why NCU fails on
connecting to the Newt. And if it's actually on the
FAQ, can someone point me closer to the actual
location?
Thanks
