It does sound a bit strange... usually, you should be able to simply
unplug your other device (PowerBook...) from the modem and plug the
Newton in without switching the modem off.

If you have a static IP address assigned to you by your ISP, then you
can do exactly that. You would have to copy the IP address, the subnet
mask and the DNS server entries.
If you have a dynamic IP address (i.e. DHCP), you can simply set the
configuration method to Server or DHCP on the Newton.
