Configuring MacTCP 2.0.6. and TCP/IP (Open Transport)
In order to use FreePPP, your Macintosh will need either MacTCP 2.0.6., or Open Transport installed and configured. If you plan on using Open Transport PPP (OT/PPP), Open Transport (TCP/IP) must be installed. To check which one you have, go to the Control Panels and look for TCP/IP (Open Transport), or MacTCP. If you are using a system previous to 7.5 you may need to install MacTCP or Open Transport. The La Plaza Installer includes MacTCP 2.0.6., but only if you choose to do a "Custom Install".
Note:
FreePPP or OT/PPP must be installed before you can configure TCP/IP or MacTCP.
OT/PPP is not compatible with MacTCP.

Configuring MacTCP
- Make sure it's in control panels, then open it up and click the "more"
button.
- Set the "Obtain address:" radio button to "manually".
- In the routing information: box, set the gateway address: to "204.151.72.1".
- In the IP address box, set it to class "C" and make sure the subnet mask is
"255.255.255.0". Adjust it with the little handle if you need to.
- Leave the Net, Subnet, and Node boxes alone.
- The Domain Name Information box:
- Under Domain, put "laplaza.org".
- Under IP address, put "204.151.72.2", and check the "default" radio button.
- Next, tab to the next Domain box and put in "." (single period).
- In the next IP address box put "204.151.72.8".
- Click the "Server" button in the "Obtain Address" box
- Now click "OK".
- The IP address box above the "More" button should be "192.0.0.0".
- Above that should be a window with a FreePPP Icon in it. Select the icon.
- Close the MacTCP window.
- Restart your computer
