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.
