Obtain these addresses from the network administrator. The end of the range is
automatically determined by adding the number of addresses permitted to the
starting address.

You can perform steps 4 and 5 in either order. The result is the same.

IMPORTANT

If you are using both manual and automatic addressing, be sure

that the address ranges do not overlap. The Apple IP Gateway cannot manage
automatic and manual addresses from the same range.

If you want the gateway to start automatically when you start up the computer, click the

“Activate gateway at Macintosh startup” box.

IMPORTANT

Ignore the “Use network restrictions” checkbox for now. This is

discussed in detail in the section “Establishing Gateway Security” in
Chapter 3, “Operating and Monitoring the Apple IP Gateway.”

Click OK.

The Gateway Setup dialog box closes and the Gateway Information window
reappears. The gateway is now fully configured and will begin operation when
you click Start.

Getting users ready

To get users ready you will need to

m ensure that users have the minimum hardware and software required
m ensure that users have MacTCP correctly configured
m supply users with manual addresses if necessary

Users may also need various Internet access software programs or server
accounts to accomplish their goals. These requirements, however, are too
individualized to cover here. See any of the Internet introductions listed in the
Preface for more information.
