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.
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.

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.

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
