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.

ISP issues your IP address. Many ISPs issue these numbers automatically

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 wil l

configure your computer.
