Do you actually have a wireless router that is a DHCP server? If not,
that would be a problem...
If you only want to hook to you mac, and have no router, you can
create a manually configured internet setup, which will work...

Doesn't matter. Sometimes, certain connections don't work unless there
is a hub or switch between the Newton and the Mac. This has been a
problem for lots of people and is very annoying.
If you have a hub or switch laying around, try using it between the
Newt and Mac.

Is you mac already setup? You need to give it an IP address of it's
own if it doesn't have one...
