At IUB or IUPUI, in Mac OS X, how can I manually configure my computer to connect to the network?

Before configuring your Indiana University Bloomington or IUPUI network settings in Mac OS X, find out if you are using DHCP or if you have a static IP address. If you are in campus housing, you are using DHCP. If you are faculty or staff and you don't know whether or not you are using DHCP or you don't know your IP address, contact your department's local support provider.

Note: To learn the name of your department's LSP, please call the UITS Support Center at 812-855-6789 (Bloomington) or 317-274-4357 (Indianapolis).
