17.2 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.
