Don't use MacTCP. Stick with OpenTransport.

Did you set the AppleTalk control panel to use EtherTalk?

That's OK, it's just using the GUID assigned to the card instead of the card name.

Uhm.... are you plugging the cable from your Newton's ethernet card directly

need two cables and a hub or a "crossover" Ethernet cable and an RJ45F-RJ45F
connector.
