Checking the IP Address
103
Checking the IP Address
The user interface of the FRITZ!Box can be reached
neither at the address fritz.box
nor at 192.168.178.1.
The IP address set on the connected computer is inappli-
cable.
Set the network adapter to DHCP so that the IP address
can be obtained via the DHCP server of the FRITZ!Box. Ad-
just the settings to those described in the section “Ob-
taining an IP Address Automatically” from page 115.
If it is still not possible to open the FRITZ!Box user inter-
face by entering fritz.box
or 192.168.178.1, use the fixed
IP address of the FRITZ!Box as described on page 106.
Disabling Dial-Up Connections
The user interface is not opened; a window for a dial-up
connection appears instead.
The browser must use the network connection between
the computer and FRITZ!Box when the user interface is
opened. For this the automatic establishment of a Dial-Up
Networking connection must be disabled.
You can disable the automatic attempt to establish a Dial-
Up Networking connection. The following example ex-
plains how to check the settings of Internet Explorer 8:
1. Select the “Connections” settings page under
“Tools/ Internet Options...”.
2. In the “Dial-up and Virtual Private Network settings”
section, enable the option “Never dial a connection”.
3. As a final step, click “OK”.
