Macintosh and Linux Users: Configuring TCP/IP Settings

If you are using the Linux operating system, or if you are using a Macintosh computer, you must ensure that your computer’s network, or TCP/IP, settings are configured correctly.

Otherwise, you will not be able to connect to the Internet. Windows automatically configures your network settings, so you don’t have to perform this additional task.
