Be sure the computer you use to configure your Netopia R910 has TCP/IP software and hardware properly
configured to work with a router and the network ser vice provider you will be using. Typically, this means that
you will have your computer set up to accept a dynamically assigned IP address from the router, although other
options are possible. This chapter is a general guide to configuring TCP/IP connectivity for your PC or
Macintosh. Consult your computer’s documentation for more detail.
This section covers the following topics:
■ “Hardware and operating system requirements” on page 5-23
■ “Configuring TCP/IP on Windows 95 or 98” on page 5-24
■ “Configuring TCP/IP on a Macintosh Computer” on page 5-26
If after following the instructions in this section you are having difficulties configuring the router, see Appendix
A, “Troubleshooting.”
