To use a TCP/IP network, your computer must have an IP (Internet Protocol) address, and it often must
have a subnet mask number. Your network address and subnet mask number identify your computer’s
location on the network. This information can be entered manually or obtained automatically from a
server. Before you set up your TCP/IP network connection, obtain your IP address and subnet mask
number from your Internet service provider or network administrator. If these can be obtained
automatically from a server, find out whether the server is a “BootP,” “RARP,” “DHCP,” or “MacIP” server.
