IPCop _was_ based on Smoothwall, but is now diverging very rapidly from it. A very much better choice as you will get friendly advice to resolve your problems instead of a revolting flea in your ear from the smoothwall lot. Can you ping out when the f/w is not in the loop? I'm just wondering if the ADSL interface box has had the necessary port / pinhole - call it what you will - opened?
