Chris, setup your clients with either a static IP in the same subnet as the green scope, or configure the dhcp server in ipcop. Your gateway for green needs to be the IPCop box, and the easiest way to do this is to use Static assignments in green or the DHCP server built in. It sounds like you are really close. Maybe it is Telstra? Try unplugging your modem from the wall for 30 seconds so that the MAC of your public (red) nic gets registered in their head end equipment. What version of IPCop are you installing?

It's the RED NIC I'm having problems with. It's set to 218.101.50.166 - my static IP on paradise's network, with default gateway 218.101.50.1 and paradise's primary and secondry DNS servers set up. I've gone for letting the computers choose their own IPs rather than running a DHCP server. Other computers aren't getting any of the hot cable action, and after a while of sitting on the login screen, IPCop tells me it can't connect to http://www.ipcop.org. Seems the modem isn't talking to the IPCop box properly. Is there very obviously something wrong with how I've set things up, or should I just keep tinkering blindly? I've tried swapping cables all around. Thanks, -- Chris.
