[QUOTE="wheelguy12, post: 1220962, member: 197775"] I'm probably doing something similar to what you are trying to accomplish, and I'm also new to the Mac coming from a Windows world. I do better one on one, so I made a reservation at the expert counter in my local store - they fixed a different problem I was having right then and there... Back to your question, though. I wanted to set up my Mac like my Win machine - manual network addresses pointed at specific devices. click Apple icon, upper left corner. click System Preferences. Internet & Wireless window - click Network icon. Click "Ethernet" in list on the left. select dropdown "Configure IPv4" Enter the addresses you need to use. I did this... IP = 192.168.0.33 Subnet = 255.255.255.0 Router = 192.168.0.1 DNS = 192.168.0.1 Search domains = blank Time spent learning how to do things on a Mac = not much + well worth it. This Macbook runs Windows apps much better than Windows does, and the hardware is sooo much nicer. [/QUOTE]
