Changing Your Macintosh TCP/IP Settings for KWOM



 

Open the 'TCP/IP' Control Panel:
  • Click on the Apple icon at the top left of the Desktop screen
  • Scroll down to 'Control Panels'
  • Select 'TCP/IP' from the list
Select 'TCP/IP' by highlighting it with the mouse, and releasing the mouse button.  (Note: Some users may not have to hold down the mouse button to keep the drop-down menus open; in this case, make selections by clicking with the mouse while the desired option is highlighted).

The TCP/IP Control Panel is highlighted in the example to the right.

 
Changing the 'TCP/IP' settings is very simple. 
  • Connect via: has PPP selected. If it is not, click on the arrows to the right of the box and select "PPP".
  • Configure: hasUsing PPP Serverselected. If not, click on the arrows to the right of the box and select "Using PPP Server".
  • Replace the existing two sets of numbers in the 'Name Server Addr.' with the KWOM's new DNS numbers: 208.211.166.2 and 199.177.36.2

The first example on the right shows the TCP/IP window with the old information - the bottom example shows the new configuration.
