Chapter 9 LAN 9.7.2 Any IP Traditionally, you must set the IP addresses and the subnet masks of a computer and the NBG-460N to be in the same subnet to allow the computer to access the Internet (through the NBG-460N). In cases where your computer is required to use a static IP address in another network, you may need to manually configure the network settings of the computer every time you want to access the Internet via the NBG-460N. With the Any IP feature and NAT enabled, the NBG-460N allows a computer to access the Internet without changing the network settings (such as IP address and subnet mask) of the computer, when the IP addresses of the computer and the NBG-460N are not in the same subnet. Whether a computer is set to use a dynamic or static (fixed) IP address, you can simply connect the computer to the NBG-460N and access the Internet. The following figure depicts a scenario where a computer is set to use a static private IP address in the corporate environment. In a residential house where a NBG-460N is installed, you can still use the computer to access the Internet without changing the network settings, even when the IP addresses of the computer and the NBG-460N are not in the same subnet. Figure 98 Any IP Example The Any IP feature does not apply to a computer using either a dynamic IP address or a static IP address that is in the same subnet as the NBG-460N's IP address. Note: You must enable NAT to use the Any IP feature on the NBG-460N. 144 NBG-460N User's Guide
