Configuring TCP/IP on a Macintosh Computer

The following is a quick guide to configuring TCP/IP for MacOS computers. Configuring TCP/IP on a Macintosh computer requires the following:

You must have either Open Transport or MacTCP installed.

Note: If you want to use the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server built into your Netopia R910 to assign IP addresses to your Macintoshes, you must be running Open Transport. You can have your Netopia R910 dynamically assign IP addresses using MacTCP; however, to do so requires that the optional AppleTalk kit be installed and this can only be done after the router is configured.

You must have built-in Ethernet or a third-party Ethernet card and its associated drivers installed in your Macintosh.

Dynamic configuration (recommended)

The easiest configuration method is to accept the dynamic IP address assigned by your router. DHCP, which enables dynamic addressing, is enabled by default on the router.

1.Go to the Apple Menu. Select Control Panels and then TCP/IP.

2.With the TCP/IP window open, go to the Edit menu and select User Mode. Choose Basic and click OK.

3.In the TCP/IP window, select “Connect via: Ethernet” and “Configure: Using DHCP Server.”
