Apple appleshare ip 6.0 Quick Setup Guide

 

Installing AppleShare IP 6.0

17

The TCP/IP window shows the basic TCP/IP options. 

5

Choose the network connection you are using to connect over TCP/IP from the “Connect via” 
pop-up menu.

This setting determines the port that your server will use to connect to your TCP/IP network.

6

Choose Manually from the Configure pop-up menu.

7

Type the IP address for your AppleShare IP server in the IP Address text box.

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a set of four numbers from 0 to 255, separated by dots 
(for example, 172.16.54.2). It identifies your server (the computer that will be running the 
AppleShare IP software) on the network. Your network administrator or Internet service 
provider should provide this address.

8

Type your network’s subnet mask in the “Subnet mask” text box.

Like an IP address, a subnet mask is a set of four numbers from 0 to 255, separated by dots 
(for example, 255.255.252.0). Your network administrator or Internet service provider  
should provide you with this information. If you leave this field blank, you will be assigned a 
default subnet mask.

9

If your network has a router, type its address in the “Router address” text box.

A router is a device that connects two or more networks and directs information along the 
most efficient or appropriate network path. Routers also have IP addresses. 

10

Type the IP address of your network’s Domain Name System (DNS) server in the “Name 
server addr” text box.

Important  

Each computer has a unique IP address. Entering an incorrect address or the IP 

address that another computer uses can cause problems with your computer and with the 
network. Be sure to enter your server’s exact address.
