If your plan is to use your mac a router with manual setup for the Newt
here is the setup that I have tried and it works. Keep in mind that
the newton will connect only to connection software, in your case
probably NCX.
But if you have your mac connected to a wired lan line then you will
be able to connect to the internet.

I don't know what went wrong but if it still doesn't work, here is the
full text
=======================================Ok, i am done..
Here is what did me success:
On the Newton side, if you have installed "Lantern Patch" , "More
Wifi Cards"and "Farallon Enet". remove those. It is important that
the Wifi card shows up, if you tap the card button on Avi s backdrop!
If it does not show up, something is wrong.
Wifi Card Setup:
mode- infrastucture,
Channel 3 (ignored)
SSID: my iMacs Name
No WEP
Generic Internet Setup on Newton:
Name: Wifi Setup
Configuration: manual
Card: Avaya (Lucent Silver)
Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
Local IP Address: 10.0.1.9
Gateway/Router Address: 10.0.1.1
Primary DNS: whatever your router says..
Domaine name: none
iMac Setup.
On SytemPreferences, Network ,Prefpane Airport:
Airport: Connect automatically
TCP/IP: IPv4: DHCP with manual Address
IP-Address: 10.0.1.1
Subnetmask: 255.0.0.0 ( you can not change that)
DNS Server: whatever your router says.
Apple Talk: No
On SytemPreferences, Sharing ,Internet:
Use connection: Ethernet
with computers using: Airport
Before you should have select "Create network" from the Airport Icon
in the menu bar. Choose automatic and No WEP. The name should be your
iMacs name.
(maybe you can try WEP on both sides, depending on your card)
Now you should be done..

You can, see above

it is easiest if you can

The newton can only connect to connection software that you have
running on the Mac
