Is there anywhere in the Fritz!Box Fon (original, non-wireless version)
where I can specify DNS servers..? Can't see it anywhere.

I might be stating the obvious here, but just in case you weren't
aware.The PDF manuals have quite a lot of pages but they can be
searched, in the Adobe Acrobat reader, via a click on the binoculars.
I checked out the WLAN 7140 PDF manual and entered DNS in the search
box. There were about 12 occurrences of 'DNS'. You might have some
luck with that for your model.
However,the manuals aren't absolutely comprehensive. There are a few
things I'd like to know that aren't included.

Advanced users may notice a lack of some more complex functions, even when the Expert Mode is enabled. For example, there’s no way to override your ISP’s default DNS via the Fritz!Box’s Web interface.

Suspect you might have to telnet in to the box, and have a play that way...?

On the 7050 you can change DNS servers, but only if you have a static WAN
address I believe.

Internet > Account Information > Connection settings

My (dynamic) IP only changes when I change DSL modem, but I have not tried
configuring it as a static address. I guess it would not work once the DHCP
lease expires.
