DSL Setup: Mac OS9
In order to get your DSL working on your Macintosh running Mac OS9, you
will need to input certain IP information by following the steps described
below, and using the settings that were provided to you ( IP address,
gateway address, subnet mask, and DNS server addresses). Follow these
instructions:
First, you must activate Appletalk. Pull down the Apple Menu,
highlight Control Panels, and then highlight the AppleTalk
line.
Once you are in the AppleTalk window, choose Connect via:
Ethernet (or Ethernet built-in) and close the window. You will
be asked if you want to save that configuration. Answer yes. There will
be a slight delay while AppleTalk becomes activated.
Next, pull down the Apple Menu, highlight Control Panels,
and then highlight the TCP/IP line.
Once in the TCP/IP window, it's time to configure your IP address
assignment.:
- If you purchased Residential DSL, click here
to set up dynamic IP address assignment.
- If you purchased Business DSL, click here for
your static IP address assignment
If you purchased a Residential DSL
package of any bandwidth, follow these instructions:
- In the Connect via: pulldown menu, choose "Ethernet".
- In the Configure pulldown menu, choose "Using DHCP Server".
- Leave all other information below the Configure menu as is. There
is no need to fill in any of these blocks.
- Click on Close button.
- Now open your Internet browser and try to go to any site. You should
now be connected to the Internet at high speed via your DSL connection. If
not, call us and will help you troubleshoot.

of any bandwidth, follow these instructions:
- In the Connect via: pulldown menu, choose "Ethernet".
