Before configuring your Macintosh to connect to the HMC network via Ethernet you must first obtain an IP address for your Macintosh. To do so, fill out an IP request or send e-mail to ip-request@hmc.edu. A form will be sent to you automatically. Fill it out and send it back and an IP address will be sent to you within 24 hours. Freshmen receive their IP address and other information when they receive their new accounts during Orientation.
