Apple Power Macintosh 4400 - Manual (Page 95)

5 If you are configuring your network connection manually, type the information provided
by your network administrator or Internet service provider into the appropriate boxes.
You must specify an IP address, the individual address assigned to each
computer on the network. You may also need to enter a subnet mask number,
router address, and other information. A subnet mask is a security item that
keeps your computer from identifying other computers’ IP addresses. A
router address is the address of the computer with which your computer
exchanges data over the network.
6 If your network configuration will be provided automatically by a server, do one of
the following:
m If you are using a BootP server or DHCP server, skip to step 8. The server
usually provides all the configuration information needed by TCP/IP.
m If you are using a RARP server, you may need to type additional
information provided by your network administrator or Internet service
provider into the appropriate boxes. If so, enter the information now.
m If you are using a MacIP server, click Select Zone. In the dialog box that
appears, choose the zone that contains the MacIP server you want to use
and then click OK. If you are connecting with Apple Remote Access
(ARA) you must open a connection before you can select a zone.
7 If you are configuring manually, get the Name Server Address from your Internet service
provider or network administrator.
Many networks provide more than one Name Server Address.
8 Click the close box to close the TCP/IP control panel.
If you have made configuration changes, a message asks if you want to save
them. If you have changed the port, a message also tells you that the change
will interrupt any connections to TCP/IP services. For example, you may have
to quit and reopen a Web browser or e-mail software after saving changes.
9 To save your changes, click the Save button.
Your changes take effect immediately; you do not have to restart your
computer.
