So if you want to go backwards in OS time you have to ignore Open Transport and use MacTCP.
How do you (if at all) configure MacTCP so that you can join the modern world (my workplace) that uses a DHCP server?
Last place I worked I managed to get my MIS group to assign me a fixed network IP address. That worked fine using the Manual settings in MacTCP. Is there a way to avoid this and just use the DHCP server instead?
I forget the details but you can try selecting BootP. Select Ethernet (not EtherTalk) and look for a list of options including Manual and BootP. BootP is sort of (but not quite) a predecessor to DHCP. Many DHCP servers still support it.
