  Hey gang,

  I am trying to network my Mac OSX with my SGI Indigo 2 and am having NO LUCK! I put in the Indigo's IP address and the little dog runs and runs and then it times out. I REALLY need to get this thing to work! HELP!

  What are the IP addresses and subnet masks of the Mac and the Indigo?

  Where would I find these things on the Mac and Indigo? I am totally not a networking guy. So, please be patient! :) I appreciate it. It'd really help if yhou could give me a step by step in setting this up.

  Thanks,

  On the Mac you'd find that in the TCP/IP control panel unless you're running Mac OS X. On Mac OS X it'd be in the Network pane of System Preferences.

  I don't have much experience with Indigos, but on many UNIX machines the command "ifconfig -a" (typed to a terminal window) displays the addresses currently assigned to network interfaces.

  You may need the help of a network consultant to get this working -- networking between Macs and UNIX is far from plug-and-play.

  Thanks,
