Configuring your network connection
After you physically connect your computer to a LocalTalk or Ethernet network, you need to configure your network connection in the AppleTalk control panel, the TCP/IP control panel, or both.
You use the AppleTalk control panel to set up your connection to an
AppleTalk network (that is, a network using the AppleTalk protocol).
You use the TCP/IP control panel to set up your connection to the Internet and to a TCP/IP network. TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, a standard system for connections between computers of different types.
You may need additional information about the network to which your computer is connected, or about the service through which your computer is connected to the Internet. To get this information, you may need to contact your network administrator or your Internet service provider.
