If everything is automatic, then you are connecting to their network through DHCP. They will have DNS servers which generally automatically setup. Not sure exactly what you need to do to solve the problem, but here are a couple of things to look at. When you were setting up IPCop, the configuration of the red interface is where you would specify your static ip and dns settings -- in your case your ip sounds like it is dynamic, so I'm not sure if DNS will pop-up. (I can't get the menu up on my IPCop box -- seem to have forgotten what to do to get the configuration menu back up after logging in as root). The other thing to look at is from your IPCop box, can you ping www.google.com -- though things are automatic, certain ISP providers lock you down to a single MAC address (each network device has a unique MAC address) and when you change the router that provides NAT (Network Address Translation) service so that multiple network devices can be share a single Internet connection. They may need to refresh your connection as you have changed from a black box router to an IPCop box with nics (MAC address change for sure).
