They have reached the fifth round for only the second time, and the first since 1949.
Goalkeeper Joe Day had missed Newport's past two matches as his wife was heavily pregnant with twins.

Kyle Bartley put the hosts in front - hooking the ball in from behind the goal - before Florin Andone levelled for Brighton with a smart finish.

Manchester City travel to League Two Newport, whose run in this year's Cup is not to be taken lightly by Pep Guardiola.
Hopefully he'll play a strong team, showing respect to County and giving the fans a great match to watch.
On the other side of Manchester, it's a replay of last year's final at Stamford Bridge, with holders Chelsea hosting Manchester United.
Ole Gunnar Solskjær's side had to fend of FA Cup royalty Arsenal in the previous round, and this proves to be as tough a test.
The other teams left in the pot will be thankful to see the heavyweights take each other on at this early stage, giving the underdogs an arguably easier route to Wembley.
