Verify that your IP address is now 192.168.2.xxx, your Subnet

These values confirm that your Barricade is functioning.

Configuring Your Macintosh Computer
You may find that the instructions here do not exactly match your
screen. This is because these steps and screenshots were created using
Mac OS 8.5. Mac OS 7.x and above are all very similar, but may not
be identical to Mac OS 8.5.
Step 1. Configure TCP/IP Settings
After you have completed the hardware setup, you need to configure
your computer to connect to your Barricade. You need to determine
how your ISP issues your IP address. Many ISPs issue these numbers
automatically using a networking technology known as Dynamic
Host Control Protocol, or DHCP. Other ISPs will specify your IP
address and associated numbers, which you must enter manually.
This is also known as a static IP address. How your ISP assigns your
IP address determines how you will configure your computer.
