1. In the "Apple" menu on your desktop, select "System Preferences":

2. In the "Internet & Network" section, select "Network":

3.In the window that now appears, the "Location" will be set as "Automatic". Leave this as it’s setting.

5. Click the TCP/IP tab in the new window:

6.In the "Configure IPv4" drop down menu, you can select five options, but one of the two you want to use are "Manually" for static IP addressing and "Using DHCP" for Dynamic IP addressing.

7.Select "Manually" for static IP addressing. There are also five text input boxes you can fill in; IP address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS Servers and Search Domains. Leave DNS Servers and Search Domains blank.

8.The "IP Address" can be entered to be any numbers as long as they match the rest of your network. The preferred method is 192.168.0.X where X is a number unique to the device, i.e. Mac, between 1 and 254.

9.The "Subnet Mask" should be set to 255.255.255.0.

10.The "Router" is the device that is controlling the internet connection. In the text box, you need to type the IP address of this device. By convention, X for the default gateway is 1. So using 192.168.0.X, the router should be set to 192.168.0.1 in the text box:

11.In the "DNS Servers" text box, you need to enter the DNS servers of your ISP (Internet Service Provider, i.e. the company who control your internet connection). If you do not have an internet connection, leave this box blank.

12.Now click "Apply Now".

13.When this has finished, close the window.
