FRITZ!Box Fon – 6 Guidebook
6.2 IP Settings
FRITZ!Box Fon is equipped with its own DHCP server. This
means that FRITZ!Box Fon assigns the connected computers
their IP addresses. The connected computers must be con-
figured such that they can receive their IP addresses auto-
matically from FRITZ!Box Fon. The steps for checking and
adjusting this option differ among the operating systems.
See the relevant section for your operating system.
Only one DHCP server may be active within any network.
