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 Transpor t or MacTCP installed.
Note: If you want to use the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) ser ver built into your Netopia
R910 to assign IP addresses to your Macintoshes, you must be running Open Transpor t. 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-par ty 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 Ser ver.”
