  2. Under Connect via:, select Ethernet.

    TCP/IP Configuration

  6. Select Options....
  7. Click on the Active radio button and it is up to you if you want it active all the time or not by checking/unchecking Load only when needed. Checking Load only when needed may save some RAM if you don't use network applications often. If you use network applications very often, it is theoretically better to have it checked on.
  8. Click on OK

    TCP/IP Options

  9. Close TCP/IP by clicking on the top left box.
  10. Save the new settings.
