Sounds like you are not getting assigned any DNS servers by your router, or
the ones that are getting assigned are invalid. This might just be your
router messing up (unlikely) or your router's DHCP service and your Newton's
DHCP client not liking each other (more likely).
Try creating a manual setup and then connecting with it instead. Create a new
"generic" setup from Internet Setup, write down these settings from another
computer on the network:
-ip address
-default gateway
-dns server(s)
Change the last number of the IP address to something else to make it unique,
enter it and the other numbers in the new setup on the Newton, and give that a
shot.
