| Configuring MacSLIP The following are instructions for configuring MacTCP to work with ethernet connections with SUNet on-campus. To follow these instructions you should already have a Leland account, an ethernet card installed inside your macintosh, the proper cable, and MacTCP software present on your computer. You should also have registered your computer with MedISG. Your computer must have already been registered by MedISG for these directions to have any effect (Register my computer with MedISG). |

|
||||
 |
Configuring MacTCP on your Macintosh | |||
From the "Control Panels" folder inside the "System Folder", select the "MacTCP" control panel: |
||||
 |
||||
| Click on the "More..." button. | ||||
 |
||||
| Under the "Obtain Address" section, select "Server.
Under the "Domain Name Server Information" section fill in the top "Domain" box with "stanford.edu". In the three "IP Address" boxes under the same section, fill them in with the addresses as shown above: 171.64.7.55 If none of the "Default" radio buttons are selected, please select the first one (next to the first IP Address), as shown. Click "OK" to save your changes. MacTCP is now configured. |
||||
|
Using MacTCP | |||
Unlike the modem dial-in internet connection, ethernet links do not require you to make a connection before use. You may simply load an application (such as Fetch, Netscape, Eudora, or Telnet) and Open Transport will automatically open the TCP/IP connection. If you are using DHCP with a laptop, no special steps are necessary to disconnect DHCP. |

|
Getting Additional Help | |||
If you have difficulty with any aspect of getting or using MacTCP, your best source of help is Stanford's su.computers.dialin newsgroup, the main forum for the exchange of data about PPP and other areas of our dial-in service. You can use this newsgroup to ask and answer questions, tell others of useful solutions you have discovered, and find out about any new or upgraded services being offered. There are many different ways to read and post messages to the newsgroup. An alternate way to submit a query is to send electronic mail messages to su-computers-dialin@news.stanford.edu, which will forward your messages to the newsgroup. As always, include your electronic mail address so responses can, if you wish, be sent directly to you. You can also contact ITSS Customer Assistance via HelpSU for consulting help. Apple's Web site also contains helpful tips for troubleshooting Open Transport. For additional help, contact your dormitory's Resident Computer Coordinator (RCC) or Biochemistry department's Local Network Administrator (LNA). |
