| 30 | 3 | Becky Stewart | |
| 31 | 3 | Becky Stewart | # On a Mac, click on the wireless icon next to the clock and select "Create Network..." from the drop-down menu. |
| 32 | 3 | Becky Stewart | # Choose a name and password for the network. Use the Automatic channel selection. Five letter network names and passwords have proven to be less error-prone when pushing around OSC data, though this may mostly be superstition. |
| 33 | 3 | Becky Stewart | # Open System Preferences, go to Network Settings, click on "Advanced..." and then select the TCP/IP tab. Note the IP address. Repeat this process for any other computer being used on the network. |
