Configuring
for Macintosh (Using up to OS 9.2x)
Your Macintosh is using either Open
Transport (which is newer) or Classic Networking to connect to the network.
If you are using Open Transport you will have an "Apple Talk" control
panel and a "TCP/IP" control panel, but NOT a "Network" control panel.
If you do not have a "TCP/IP" control panel, talk with your RCC;
you may not be able to connect to Resnet.
1. First, check
what version of Open Transport you have. If you have anything less
than Open Transport 1.1.1, you may need to upgrade to 1.1.2. To download
Open Transport 1.1.2, check Apple's Web site (http://asu.info.apple.com/swupdates.nsf/artnum/n10739)
Contact your RCC
if you need more information.
2. Once you are sure you have the appropriate version of Open Transport,
go to the AppleTalk control panel (Apple Menu -> Control Panels
-> AppleTalk).
3. Select Connect
via: "Ethernet". Change the Current Zone: to "Resnet North" or "Resnet
South", depending on which side of campus you're at.
4. Close the Apple Talk control panel and click on the "Save" button.
5. Open the TCP/IP
control panel. (Apple Menu -> Control Panels -> TCP/IP).
6. Select Connect
via: "Ethernet". Select Configure: "Using DHCP Server". In the "Search
Domains" field, enter "oberlin.edu".
7. If prompted
to restart your computer, do so.
8. Open your
Web Browser, authenticate with your Obiemail username and password.
