For MacTCP, you'll have to switch to Ether*net*,

Ethernet is the native encapsulation type on Ethernet. (EtherTalk,
LocalTalk, TokenTalk will encap TCP/IP-Packets into AppleTalk, for
transporting IP over links which don't support native IP encap.
LocalTalk is a good example for such a link. You need a gateway to
decap such packets.
In the day, that would have been a FastPath, a Gatorbox, or
whatever Webster called their localtalk/ethernet router.
Enter a valid IP address for your network into the
appropriate text
entry field and click on more.
Obtain Address: Manually (I don't know if MacTCP supports DHCP properly)
WARNING!! ISTR a "dynamic" address meant picking a random address on
the subnet!!
On IP over AppleTalk, "server" meant asking a local IPGATEWAY
(FastPath, Gatorbox, ....). ARP over AppleTalk was done with NBP!
On Ethernet, "server" __MIGHT__ mean BOOTP.
This was before DHCP (a superset of BOOTP) existed.
If you have a DHCP server, it might support BOOTP clients.
