The most likely explanation. Open a terminal, move to a working folder containing netsoos.mtx and enter > prepmx netsoos If this fails, it's likely that you need to install m-tx and miktex-m-tx-bin (and possibly pmx and miktex-pmx-bin as well). You might want to configure MiKTeX to install packages on-the-fly; this isn't foolproof but often works.
