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.
