Determining the IPv4 Address for Accessing the FRITZ!Box
If you have enabled ports for forwarding in the FRITZ!Box, oth-
er Internet users can access your computers at the IP address
assigned to your FRITZ!Box by the Internet service provider.
This is a public IPv4 address.
Here is how to determine the public IPv4 address of the
FRITZ!Box:
1.
Open any Internet page in order to establish an Internet
connection.
2.
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
3.
Enable the advanced view.
4.
The FRITZ!Box’s public IPv4 address is displayed on the
“Overview” page in the “Connections” area.
Can Always Be Reached, Even When the IP Address Changes
Every time the Internet connection is interrupted, the Internet
service provider re-assigns the IP address. The IP address
may change in the process. Therefore it is a good idea to use
MyFRITZ! or dynamic DNS so that the IP address can always
be reached under the same name. For more information
about MyFRITZ!, see the chapter
. For more information
about dynamic DNS, see the section
