2.7 Connecting FRITZ!Box Fon to the LAN
Port
Using a LAN cable, FRITZ!Box Fon can be connected to the
computer in just a few steps. If you would like to connect a
network to FRITZ!Box Fon in order to connect several comput-
ers with DSL, then connect FRITZ!Box Fon to a network hub or
switch using the LAN cable.
Connection with the LAN cable functions independent of the
operating system. All computers must be equipped with a
network adapter (Ethernet card).
For more information on this topic, see the chapter “Guide-
book” from page 48. This section also includes information
on IP settings and DHCP.
