System Preferences/ Network/ if your looking to make a local network that isn't on the Routers main network or you'll have to go to the router to make a change or to make a static IP address if your still going to use the routers IP main network.

How do you access an IP address from a mac?

Find your IP Address via the Mac OS X TerminalThis is how to find the IP address of your Mac through the Terminal, this is often the quickest way for those that are more technically inclined. Launch the Terminal located in /Applications/Utilities/Type the following command:ifconfig |grep inetYou will see something that looks like this:inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000inet6 fe80::fa1e:dfff:feea:d544%en1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5inet 192.168.0.100 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255Your IP address is usually next to the last entry of 'inet' and in this case is 192.168.0.100, an IP address is always in the format of x.x.x.x but it will never be 127.0.0.1 because that is your machines loopback address. Because you can always ignore 127.0.0.1, this guarantees that your IP address will be the other IP between 'inet' and 'netmask'The other command line option is to use: ipconfig getifaddr en1 which reports back only your en1 (usually wireless) IP address. You can change this to en0 for wired/ethernet too. I have heard ipconfig is not supported in all versions of Mac OS X so I did not recommend this as the first choice. However, using ipconfig you can also set your IP address from the command line.Find your External IP Address in Mac OS XYour external IP address is what is broadcast to the world rather than your local network (behind a wireless router, for instance). This is easiest to find through a Terminal command a well: curl whatismyip.org This will instantly report back your external IP address. We covered this command when finding your external IP address in the past.

Where do you configure the tcp ip stack on mac os x?

The Mac OS X TCP/IP stack is derived from the FreeBSD stack but configuring TCP/IP stacks is more of a Windows thing than a Mac OS X thing. Depending on just what you want to achieve/what the problem is... trashing the SystemConfiguration's preferences.plist (but keeping a copy for reference purposes is probably a good idea ;-), or simply switching from a wireless connection to an Ethernet connection (or vice versa), and restarting will rebuild the settings.

Will the MAC address change if you format your computer?

Under normal circumstances: No. The MAC address is hardcoded in the network controller (NIC), e.g. on a Flash chip. If the computer uses a non virtual NIC (as used on virtual machines) and there are no drivers installed that change the MAC inside the operating system, the MAC stays the same. But drivers/configurations can overcome the static MAC using the OS behavior. In most cases the MAC isn't read by the OS every time it is used, its rather stored somewhere. If that "somewhere" was changed, the MAC will certainly change if the computer is formated. Same applies if the computer uses virtual NICs. If you know the MAC and it is not the same as hardcoded in the NIC, you can restore the MAC after reinstallation.
