“MacIP” stands for Macintosh Internet Protocol. MacIP is both a type of server and a protocol for sending Internet-type packets of information over an AppleTalk network. A MacIP server can provide all the TCP/IP setup information you need, but you need to know the zone where the MacIP server is located.
Setting up
To set up your TCP/IP network connection, follow these steps:
1Choose Control Panels from the Apple (K) menu.
The Control Panels window opens.
2Double-click the TCP/IP icon to open it.
The TCP/IP control panel opens.
3Use the “Connect via” pop-up menu to choose the port through which your computer is connected to the network.
Note: If you don’t see the pop-up menu here or other settings described in this section, they may have been locked. Contact your network administrator for assistance. (If you don’t have a network administrator, you can use the Administration user mode to unlock this setting. For more information about user modes, click the h button in the TCP/IP control panel.)
