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. Mac OS 7.x and above are all very similar, but may not be identical to
Mac OS 8.5.

Step 1. Configure TCP/IP Settings
After you have completed the hardware setup, you need to configure your
computer to connect to the Barricade. You need to determine how your
ISP issues your IP address. Many ISPs issue these numbers automatically
using a networking technology known as Dynamic Host Configuration
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 will
configure your computer.
