That's what happens when you've already got Ethernet driver installed.

There are two versions of this question it seems. One asks how to get
packages onto a Newton without a serial connection, and the other
question related to the solution to the first problem - how to transfer
packages Newt to Newt (N2N).

Right. We need a question asking how to unprotect a protected package. Or
a question relating to the error message when attempting to do so. Can
anyone verify what the actual error message is when you try to copy/move
a protected package? What are some common protected packages as a
reference point?

Got it.

Ok.

Thanks Robert. That helps a lot.
