11.2 Obtaining an IP Address Automatically
The FRITZ!Box has its own DHCP server, which assigns IP ad-
dresses to the connected computers. The connected comput-
ers must be configured such that they can receive their IP
addresses automatically. The steps for checking and adjust-
ing 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.
