Macintosh Configuration

This section describes how to configure computers running Macintosh operating system versions 8.6

through 10.2 to share Internet access through the SpeedStream Gateway:

The first step is to check each computer's TCP/IP protocol settings. Because the Gateway uses the TCP/IP

network protocol for all functions, it is essential that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured

properly on each computer.

By default, the Gateway will act as a DHCP server, automatically providing a suitable IP address and

related information to each computer when the computer boots up.

Checking TCP/IP Settings

(MAC OS 8.6 through 9.x)

1.

Select

Apple Menu - Control Panel – TCP/IP

.

2.

Open the TCP/IP control panel. You should see a screen like the following:
