Obtaining an IP Address Automatically
11.4 Obtaining an IP Address Automatically
The FRITZ!Box is equipped with its own DHCP server. This
means that the connected computers obtain their IP ad-
dresses from the FRITZ!Box. The connected computers
must be configured such that they can receive their IP ad-
dresses automatically. The steps for checking and adjust-
ing this option differ among the operating systems. See
the relevant section for your operating system.

tings” command.
