SUMMARY
Microsoft recommends using the Open Transport Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) version 1.1.1 or later when you are running Microsoft Internet Explorer for Macintosh on a Power Macintosh or PCI Power Macintosh computer. You may be unable to run Internet Explorer reliably on a Power Macintosh computer if you are using the MacTCP instead of Open Transport.



MORE INFORMATION
MacTCP is an older version of TCP/IP that is designed for earlier Macintosh computers. MacTCP does not run on PCI Power Macintosh computers and may not run properly on Power Macintosh computers. Because Open Transport is specifically designed for Power Macintosh computers, Apple recommends using Open Transport version 1.1.1 or later with Power Macintosh and PCI Power Macintosh computers instead of MacTCP.

Because MacTCP may not run properly or at all on Power Macintosh and PCI Power Macintosh computers, we recommend using Open Transport instead of MacTCP if you are running Internet Explorer on a Power Macintosh or PCI Power Macintosh computer.
