15.2 Obtaining an IP Address Automatically
The FRITZ!Box has its own DHCP server, which assigns IP ad-
dresses to the connected computers. The connected comput-
ers must be configured such that they can receive their IP ad-
dresses automatically. The steps for checking and adjusting
this option differ among the operating systems. See the rele-
vant section for your operating system.

settings” command.
4. Select the LAN connection between your computer and
the FRITZ!Box. Click the right mouse button and select
“Properties”.

the “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” entry and
click “Properties”.

If FRITZ!Box is operated in a network, no other DHCP server
may be activated in this network.
