MAC OS and IP Addresses

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique identification number assigned to each computer, printer, or other device that is connected to the Internet. Each IP address consists of four sets of numbers, separated by dots. Most popular router IP addresses appear as 192.168.xxx.xxx, with the final digits being variable. This page contains instructions for checking the IP address of a computer running Macintosh OS 9/X, as well as for renewing the IP address in the event of network connectivity issues.  The Examples below use a 149.130.xxx.xxx scheme

1. From the apple menu, select System Preferences and click on the Network control panel.

2. From the Show pull-down menu, select Built-in Ethernet and click on the TCP/IP tab.

3. If the IP Address reads 149.130.xxx.xxx, then it is a valid IP address.

1. From the apple menu, select System Preferences and click on the Network control panel.

2. From the Show pull-down menu, select Built-in Ethernet and click on the TCP/IP tab.

3. Click Renew DHCP Lease. This should renew the computer's IP address immediately to 149.130.xxx.xxx. If it does not, take note of the incorrect IP address in the log.
