Configuring Your Macintosh Computer

Step 1. Configure TCP/IP Settings
After completing hardware setup by connecting your network devices, you
need to configure your computer to connect to the Barricade. First
determine how your ISP issues your IP address. Many ISPs issue these
numbers automatically using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP). Other ISPs provide a static IP address and associated numbers,
which you must enter manually. How your ISP assigns your IP address
determines how you need to configure your computer.
