Software Configuration Guide

Mac OS 8.x and 9.x

Although computers running Mac OS 8.x or 9.x will most likely connect to ResNet, WVU does not guarantee or recommend it, and support may be limited. If the security of a computer running Mac OS 8.x or 9.x is compromised, it may be disconnected from ResNet until a supported operating system is installed.

WVU recommends Apple Mac OS X 10.4.3 or higher.

Before beginning this guide, please verify the following:

  1. You are using Mac OS 8.x or 9.x or higher.
  2. You have your Macintosh CD or the installation files are on your hard drive.
  3. You have a correctly installed Ethernet adapter.
  4. You have an Ethernet cable.

If you have all of the above, proceed to Step 1.
