Configuring your network connection
After you physically connect your computer to a LocalTalk or Ethernet
network, you need to configure your network connection in the AppleTalk
control panel, the TCP/IP control panel, or both.
m You use the AppleTalk control panel to set up your connection to an
AppleTalk network (that is, a network using the AppleTalk protocol).
m You use the TCP/IP control panel to set up your connection to the Internet
and to a TCP/IP network. (TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol. It is the set of data communication rules
followed by networks to communicate with each other on the Internet.)
You may need additional information about the network to which your
computer is connected, or about the service through which your computer is
connected to the Internet. To get this information, you may need to contact
your network administrator or your Internet service provider (ISP).
Configuring your AppleTalk network connection
To configure your AppleTalk network connection, you must specify the port
you use to connect your computer to the network.
Additionally, you may need to select the zone in which your computer is
located. Larger networks use zones to create groups of computers, printers,
servers, and other network devices. For example, a network might have a zone
for each floor in an office building. If your network has more than one zone,
you can choose the zone in which your computer is located. The zone you
choose is automatically selected when you open the Chooser (for example,
when you select a network printer), and it is the zone in which other network
users can find your computer if you turn on file sharing.
To configure your AppleTalk network connection, follow these steps:
1 Choose Control Panels from the Apple (
K
) menu.
