Configure OSX Network Settings

  1. Gather this information from your ISP:
    • domain name server (DNS) addresses ( 12.42.144.3 and 12.42.144.6 )
    • whether you should choose DHCP or manual IP address configuration, which will be done in Step 6 below.
    For manual configuration only:
    • IP address
    • router address
    • subnet mask
    Note: It is possible that your ISP or local network does not provide DNS addresses, but rather has a method for providing this automatically.
  2. Choose System Preferences from the Apple Menu.

  3. Choose Network from the View menu.

  4. Choose Built-in Ethernet from the Show pop-up menu (the "Configure" menu prior to Mac OS X 10.1).
  5. Click the TCP/IP tab, if necessary.
  6. Choose either Manually or Using DHCP from the Configure pop-up menu, as you were instructed by your ISP in Step 1.
  7. Type the other information you gathered in Step 1 into the corresponding fields. Unless your ISP instructs you otherwise, you may ignore the DHCP Client ID field and the Search Domains field.

  8. Click Apply Now.
  9. Open a Web browser or other TCP/IP application to test your connection to the Internet.
