Either leave everything as DHCP, on both ends, or manually configure
everything on both ends. I leave my WiFi card on my iBook (OS X
10.4.9) to DHCP, enable wireless sharing, and my PSP has no problem
connecting. It takes a little time for it to grab an IP address, but
after that it works without a hitch. If you configure it to use a
static IP (like, say, 192.168.0.2) on the Newton, then you ought to
configure your Mac the same way (192.168.0.1).

BTW, what version of OS X are you using? That might have an impact.
