Connecting with MacPoet

Install MacPoET

Note: Do not install MacPoET on Macintosh OS X. OS X has a built in PPPoE client that should be used instead. Click here for setup instructions.

Double click the MacPoET Installer.

Highlight and drag Install MacPoet onto the hard drive icon, as described in the installer.

Click Restart when prompted.

Configure TCP/IP

After the computer restarts, you must configure TCP/IP.

• Click the Apple menu, choose Control Panels, and click TCP/IP.
• Select Ethernet from the Connect via: popup menu.
• The Configure option should be set to Manual.
• Enter 192.0.0.1 for the IP Address.

• Enter 192.0.0.2 for the Router Address.
• Enter your Expedient DNS servers into the Domain Server Addr field.
• Type expedient.net into the Additional Search Domain field.
• Close TCP/IP and save the changes.

  

  In order to run MacPoet, Appletalk protocols must be enabled. After installing MacPoet, if Appletalk is not enabled, an alert box with the following messsage, "MacPoet INIT:Get autopush ioctl failed", may appear. To enable Appletalk, select and configure the Appletalk Control Panel and make sure the Appletalk Active radio button is selected in the chooser.
