Getting a Network Address
Your computer will require an IP address in order to communicate on the network. Most IP
addresses are dynamically handed out by a server in Weeks Hall. In order for your computer
to receive an IP address the server must know your computer's hardware address. Follow these
instructions to find your hardware address and give it to Ben or Rob so we can add it to the
server's database.
Mac OS X
Open the "System Preferences" from the apple menu.
Open the "Network" preferences.
For "Show:" select "Built-in Ethernet".
Right below "Show:" are 5 selections. Select "Ethernet" from these.
Send us the "Ethernet ID" that appears.
In order to receive an IP address your network settings will also have to be properly set.
Look here for instruction on doing that.
