I just re-visited this setup last night on my PowerMac G4 running Mac
OS 9.2.2 natively (not Mac OS X).
I was reminded of a problem that always happens when installing NCU.
The installer will just sit there forever giving you a spinning beach
ball cursor.
(I think I remember if you let it sit there long enough, it may
finally get to the next step.)
Anyway, the fix for this is to restart with extensions off [by
holdding down the SHIFT key after powering on (still native Mac OS,
pre-OS X)], and install NCU. It will run fast like it should, then
you can restart.
I hope this fixes your connectivity problems too :)
