Before you begin

To configure your connection, you need to know the types of servers used on
the network, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, and your subnet mask. Your
Internet service provider or network administrator can give you the
information you need in order to set up your connection.

Setting up

To set up your TCP/IP network connection, follow these steps:

1

Choose Control Panels from the Apple menu.

The Control Panels window opens.

2

Double-click the TCP/IP icon to open it.

The TCP/IP control panel opens.

3

Use the “Connect via” pop-up menu to choose the port through which your computer is

connected to the network.

Note: If you don’t see the pop-up menu or other settings described in this
section, the TCP/IP configuration may have been locked. Contact your
network administrator for assistance. (If you don’t have a network
administrator, you can use the Administration user mode to unlock this
setting. For more information about user modes, click the h button in the
TCP/IP control panel.)
