Sadly, the same thing happens when I try a manual config with all the info
including the DNS. "Cannot resolve [name of server]"

Is there are possible reason why the Newton wouldn't be able to use the DNS
in the NT server, when obviously the NT workstations are using it? Maybe
tomorrow I'll try putting in a known DNS outside our network.
