Your Macintosh operating system has all of the necessary software you need to use your ResNet connection to connect to the Internet. This document describes how to set up your Macintosh running OS X for ResNet. Before following the instructions in this document, make sure your 10BaseT cable is plugged into the correct wall jack.

If you have not used your Macintosh on another network, chances are that if you plug in the network cable it will just work without additional configuration. If it doesn't, you'll need to follow the directions below.

Click on the System Preferences icon in the MacOS X dock.

Click on the Network icon to open the network preferences.

Change the Show drop down menu to Built-in Ethernet. (On some Macs it may be called "Ethernet built-in" or something else with "Ethernet" in the name.) Change the Configure menu to Using DHCP. Everything else in this box should be left blank. Click Apply Now. Then close the network preferences box.

You may be prompted to save the configuration changes. If you are, just click Save. You should be connected to ResNet now.
