Are you sure that AppleTalk is configured to use Ethernet? If you open the
AppleTalk control panel on your PowerBook, do you see it using Ethernet? If
you open the preferences in NCU, is it set to use AppleTalk? If you open the
Ethernet card on your Newton, does the "Use the card for AppleTalk" is
checked?

BUAG // n.: [abbreviation, from alt.fan.warlord] Big Ugly ASCII Graphic.
Pejorative term for ugly ASCII art, especially as found in sig blocks. For
some reason, mutations of the head of Bart Simpson are particularly common
in the least imaginative sig blocks. See warlording.
