Verify the TCP/IP Configuration on a Macintosh

To verify the TCP/IP configuration on a Macintosh, perform the following tasks using the MacTCP Control Panel (Control Panels are in the Apple menu).

Check that the Macintosh has the correct IP address. This address is shown in the IP Address box:
Click the More... button to display the next MacTCP dialog box:
Configure 255.255.255.255 as the IP address of the DNS server.
Configure the domain name to be a period (.).
After you have configured the router, set the default gateway to the router's IP address.

If you change any of these parameters from previous settings, you must restart the Macintosh.

Continue with the next step in the process.
