Setting Up a Public Proxied Subnet
The Public Proxied Subnet pane allows you to create a local network that has broadband-accessible IP
addresses. Public Proxied Subnet is a public network in which the local network is an extension of the
broadband network and does not require any special routing. Computers that are assigned Public Proxied
Subnet IP addresses operate without Network Address Translation (NAT). This feature is typically used in
conjunction with broadband service that provides a range of IP addresses. Once enabled, the Public Proxied
Subnet IP addresses can be assigned to local computers.
To set up a public proxied subnet:
1. Check the Enable checkbox.
2. In the Subnet Mask field, enter the subnet mask (this is typically provided by your service provider, and
defines how large your IP pool is).
3. (Optional) To open all firewall ports, check the Auto Firewall Open checkbox. (By default, your firewall
protection is enabled.)
4. Click SAVE.
Selecting a Default DHCP Pool
By default, all devices on the home network that use dynamic (non-static) IP addresses receive these from
the Private Network DHCP pool. When either Public Routed Subinterface or Public Proxied Subnet is
enabled, click the Default DHCP Pool radio button in the corresponding section to have devices receive their
IP addresses from those pools.
Showing a Device as Inactive
To show a device as Inactive:
1. Open a Web browser and access the 2Wire gateway user interface.
2. Click the Home Network tab.
3. Click the Advanced Settings link under the tab.
4. In the Settings pane, select the Show inactive devices in network list checkbox.
5. Click SAVE.
