Me thinks that could be an issue. You have it set to DHCP, so it will
try and find someone to assign it an IP address, and will fail. I would
suggest giving the Newt an IP manually, and make sure you use the same
info as on the Macs (subnet mask, etc...). So if the Macs have a
10.0.1.x or 192.168.1.x or whatever, make sure you assign your Newt an
address in the same way (if your eMac and 'Book have 10.0.1.2 and
10.0.1.3, give your Newt 10.0.1.4, for instance, providing there are no
other devices using that address.
