You must click the
Submit
button for changes to take effect.

Private Network Settings
By default, the gateway uses the 192.168.0.1/255.255.0.0 IP address range. The Private Network pane
allows you to change the IP address range used by the local network. You can choose from three standard
configuration options, or configure the network settings manually.
Note:
To access this page, your organization must have the Remote Management feature
enabled. If the feature is not enabled, an error message will display when you click the link to
access this page.

Public Network Settings
The Public Network pane allows you to create a local network that has broadband network-accessible IP
addresses by creating a route from the Internet to the public network specified. The public network
operates without the use of Network Address Translation (NAT). This feature is typically used in conjunction
with broadband service that provides a range of available IP addresses. Once enabled, the public IP
addresses can be assigned to local computers.
Bridge Network Settings
The Bridge Network pane allows you to create a local network that has broadband-accessible IP addresses.
Bridge Network 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 Bridge Network IP addresses operate
without the use of Network Address Translation (NAT). This feature is typically used in conjunction with
broadband service that provides a range of IP addresses. Once enabled, the bridge network IP addresses
can be assigned to local computers.
Display Settings
If the
Show Inactive Devices
checkbox is checked, devices that are no longer on the local network will display
in the Local Network Local Devices list as an inactive device. If this checkbox is not checked, inactive
devices will not be displayed in the device list.
Enable Router Behind Router Alert
If the
Display alert when another router is connected to this router
checkbox is checked, the Router Behind
Router error page displays in the gateway user interface if the gateway detects the presence of a third-party
router. If a third-party router is connected to the 2Wire gateway, the network can become unstable because
both devices are trying to manage private IPs via NAT.
Note:
If you change the local network IP address range, you must renew the DHCP lease on all
devices on the gateway’s local network and manually reconfigure all devices configured with
static IP addresses.

Local Network - Address Allocation Page
The Local Network - Address Allocation page shows the name and IP address of each device on the
gateway’s local network, and allows you to create DHCP mappings for each device.
Figure 34. MDC Local Network Address Allocation Page
To change the DHCP mapping for a device:
1.
From the IP Address pull-down menu next to the device, select an address from any of the
available networks.
2.
Click the
Submit
button.
Note:
To access this page, your organization must have the Remote Management feature
enabled. If the feature is not enabled, an error message will display when you click the link to
access this page.
Note:
If you change the home network IP address range, you must renew the DHCP lease on
all devices on your home network and manually reconfigure all devices configured with static IP
addresses.

Hosting an Application
To host an application on the gateway’s network for Internet users to access (such as a Web server), the
firewall must be configured to allow users on the Internet to access it.
To host an application:
1.
From
1 Select a computer
, select a computer from the pull-down menu.
2.
From
2 Edit firewall settings for this computer
, click the
Allow individual application(s)
radio button.
3.
From the Applications list, select an application profile.
4.
Click the
ADD >
button. The application displays in the Hosted Applications list.
5.
Click the
Submit
button.
To stop an application that is routed to a selected computer:
1.
From the Hosted Applications list, select the application profile name.
2.
Click the
< REMOVE
button.
Creating an Application Profile
If the application that the user wishes to host is not included in the updated application list, you may need
to create an application profile. An application profile configures the system’s firewall to pass through
application-specific data.
Note:
If an application does not appear in the Applications list, the list may need updating. If
an update is available, click the
UPDATE APPLICATION LIST
button.
