How Set a Static IP Address in Apple Mac OS X
For those new to OS X from the Windows world (like I was), finding your way around can be a little frustrating in a world sans right mouse click! One task thats quite common (and one I came across this week) is wanting to set a static IP address in OS X. Here's how it's done!
1. Open System Preferences with this icon:
- Mac OS X System Preferences Icon
2. Under the Internet and Wireless menu choose Network
- Mac OS X Network Icon
3. Select Ethernet Network
- Apple Mac OS X Ethernet Icon
4. Select the Configure IPv4 Drop down list and select Manually
- Apple Mac OS X Configure IPv4
5. Enter the Static IP, Subnet Mask, Router (Gateway) , DNS Server and Search Domain followed by Apply
- Apple Mac OS X Static IP Address
6. And your done! To reset back to DHCP - just reset the Manually setting to DHCP
