Configuring Your Macintosh Computer
You may find that the instructions here do not exactly match your
screen. This is because these steps and screenshots were created
using Mac OS 8.5. Mac OS 7.x and above are all very similar, but
may not be identical to Mac OS 8.5.
Step 1. Configure TCP/IP Settings
After you have completed the hardware setup, you need to configure
your computer to connect to your Barricade. You need to determine
how your ISP issues your IP address. Many ISPs issue these numbers
automatically using a networking technology known as Dynamic Host
Control Protocol, or DHCP. Other ISPs will specify your IP address and
associated numbers, which you must enter manually. This is also
known as a static IP address. How your ISP assigns your IP address
determines how you will configure your computer.
Here is what to do:
1. Pull down the Apple Menu. Click "Control Panels" and select
TCP/IP.
