On this page, you will find the network settings of your PC for use with a router solution (either hardware or software solution). This information is published on a seperate page, as it's being used for several other pages as well. The settings work for TCP/IP networks, either UTP or BNC (coax) based, using a router. This router can be a separate device, a (A)DSL/Cable modem or a server with for example WinRoute, all of them with DHCP activated.

This page focusses on Apple Macintosh with OS 7 or 8.

Note: I'm not a Macintosh expert - could some donate a spare Mac? - comments and help are most welcome!
