IPcop config

[Kelsay, Brian - Kansas City, MO]

Ed is right.  I would've responded sooner, but I was off work for a week
and have been buried in email and work all week.

Remember to upgrade to 1.4.6.  If you have a 1.4.0 or 1.4.2, this is a
multi-step upgrade.  You must get 1.4.3 and 1.4.4 on and then reboot.
Then add 1.4.5 and 1.4.6 and reboot.  The reboots are for the kernel
upgrades.  If you plan on making big changes, get the 1.4.6 .iso file
and sove yourself the trouble of the upgrades.  If you have a ton of
custom firewall rules that you have put in to block sites or attackers,
then keep the current install, change the config and do the upgrades.

It should just be a network reconfig.  Simply login as the setup user.
That will automatically take
you to the configuration menu where you can select the network  and pick
which interface is which
"zone".

It is very straight forward and worked well for me when I added an
Orange (DMZ) to mine.

-Stuck in a new NIC 
-logged in as user "setup"
-accessed network dialogue
-Select the zone for each interface.


Send me direct email if you need anything else.

I would say reinstall. I have never done dialup so, I don't know what to
turn off to stop dailup. It
really doesn't take that long to reinstall anyways.
