Unplugging the modem from the wall is a good idea, I'll give that a shot.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?
The reason I didn't want to use DHCP was because in the old system that required a computer on all the time, the other computers had static IPs on the network, and (I thought) it would be easier to leave them as is.
On the page of IPCop's setup (1.3.0 btw) - RED interface: Enter the IP address information for the RED interface - am I putting in the IP of the NIC I want to connect to the modem (some particular IP within 192.168.0.x), the modem's IP (192.168.100.1), or my paradise IP of 218.101.50.166?
And the next page, DNS and Gateway settings, is Default Gateway the paradise gateway of 218.101.50.1? Or the modem as 192.168.100.1?
Sorry for the quite probably newbie questions. What's confusing me here is how much information I need to give IPCop and what it can find out just from being plugged into Paradise.
Thanks, -- Chris.
