Apple AppleShare IP 6.0 - Manual (Page 19)

Installing AppleShare IP 6.0 19
Because of the disadvantages of using dynamic addresses, Apple recommends you obtain a
static IP address for each computer on which you will install AppleShare IP services.
If your computer uses a modem to connect to your Internet service provider and has a static
IP address, follow these steps to set up TCP/IP and PPP:
1 Open the TCP/IP control panel.
If TCP is inactive, the following dialog box appears.
2 Click Yes.
The TCP/IP control panel appears.
3 Choose User Mode from the Edit menu.
The User Mode window appears.
4 Click Basic, if it’s not already chosen. Then click OK.
The TCP/IP window shows the basic TCP/IP options.
Important
If your ISP has provided you with software that automatically configures your
TCP/IP control panel, do not change the settings made by the ISP software program. Skip
