Apple Macintosh Open Transport,TCP/IP Configuration Guide

A few caveats:

Do not attempt to configure any version of Open Transport prior to 1.1. Use MacTCP.

If this is a non-PCI version of the Mac Hardware, and Open Transport is installed, there will be an icon in the Apple Extras folder called the Network Software Selector.



This will bring up the Network Software Selector. This is used to select between Classic networking (MacTCP) and Open Transport Networking. If the mode is changed via this selector box, the Mac must be restarted for the new mode to take effect.



Go to the Control Panels and open the TCP/IP Control Panel.



Connect via:
Ethernet

Configure:
Manually

IP Address:
a.b.c.d (where this is a valid unique host on the routed network)

Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0 (for an unsubnetted class C network)

Router Address:
a.b.c.1 (where a.b.c.1 is the IP address of the router)

Name server address:
Choose the physically closest machine from the list of Name Resolvers.

The domain name information can be left blank.

In the Additional Search domains box enter the domain name to speed up internal name resolution.

Close the box to accept the new information (use the upper left close box). 3

Specify that the current configuration should be saved.

Note: There should be no need to restart the Mac for IP changes to take effect.

The TCP/IP Options window displays.



To use TCP/IP Apps make sure TCP/IP is Active. (Load only when needed can be checked.)

Click OK to accept these parameters.

The Info Button will bring up information about the TCP/IP Stack (IP address, MAC address, Router address, Version of Open transport and version of TCP/IP).

Press OK to exit the Info window.
