Wait a few seconds, then plug it back into the USB port, and relaunch NCX and try connecting again using the Dock on the Newton, being sure to select Serial11520. Keep trying a few more times if it won't connect. If still you can't connect after trying x times, unplug the USB cable from the computer, and log out and back in, as well as restarting the Newton. Then plug back into the USB on your computer, launch NCX and try connecting again the way I have described. Let me know if this works.

Ryan,
I'd add that only a main USB port on the computer should be used; no
hubs even if they are powered.
