A stop-start first half produced few opportunities. The best of them saw Newport's Cameron Antwi have a curling shot denied by home goalkeeper Craig MacGillivray before MK's Connor Lemonheigh-Evans saw a goalbound cross-shot kept out by Nick Townsend.
After the break, Jack Sanders had an effort denied by Exiles keeper Townsend and Lemonheigh-Evans hit the post following a run into the box.
The two sides continued to struggle to create opportunities as the game wore on and neither could find a breakthrough.
