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 Wireless Barricade Plus. 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 Configuration 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.
