Linking Up the Cable Network
FRITZ!Box is equipped with its own DHCP server. This means
that FRITZ!Box assigns the connected computers their IP ad-
dresses. The connected computers must be configured such
that they can receive their IP addresses automatically from
FRITZ!Box. The steps for checking and adjusting this option
differ among the operating systems. See the relevant section
for your operating system.
If FRITZ!Box is operated in a network, no other DHCP server
may be activated in this network. If you need to operate a
DHCP server, please disable the DHCP feature in the "Ad-
vanced System Settings".
Obtaining an IP Address Automatically in Windows XP
Proceed as follows in Windows XP:
1. Click "start / Control Panel / Network and Internet Con-
nections / Network Connections". Double-click the LAN
connection icon of the network adapter connected with
FRITZ!Box to open the "Local Area Connection Status"
window.
2. Click the "Properties" button.
