Chapter 3 Setting Up Mac OS X Server 45
2 If you have DHCP or DNS service provided by your ISP, Internet router, or other servers
on you network, make sure they are set up for your new server and are running.
3 If you want to set up your server as an Internet gateway, so the server shares an
Internet connection with other computers on your network, make sure of the
following:
 One Ethernet port, or interface, connects to your DSL modem, cable modem, or other
Internet source. The Internet interface must have a public IP address (not a private IP
ad dr es s l i k e 10 . 0 .1.1 o r 192 .16 8.1.1 ).
 Another Ethernet port connects to your local network.
During setup, you specify which port connects to the Internet. For example, if the
server’s built-in Ethernet port connects to the Internet, you would specify it as the
Internet port. If your server has more than two Ethernet ports, you select at least one of
them as a local network port.
4 If the server is off, turn it on.
When the server starts up, Server Assistant opens automatically and waits for remote
setup to begin.
5 On an administrator computer, open Server Assistant, select “Set up a remote server,”
and click Continue.
Server Assistant is located in /Applications/Server/. You can use Server Assistant
without an administrator account on the local computer.
6 In the Destination pane, type the preset password in the Password column for the
server you want to set up, and then select the Apply checkbox.
