When you set up your connection to your provider, do you have a static address or dynamic?
Dynamic IP
If static, you had to set your next step resolver in the config. If you are dynamic, you get what your provider sends with the dhcp request. Since you said you have an ipcop box for your router you should be able to ssh into it and run setup and change your nameserver setting to 127.0.0.1 and your ipcop should be a caching nameserver. If you have another address there it will query to that server.
I never tried to SSH into the IPCop box before. I've always connected to it via the web interface. I tried to SSH into it, but apparently I have that Blocked, in the IPCop configuration settings.
[root@dell2400 ~]# ssh ipcop.homelan ssh: connect to host ipcop.homelan port 22: Connection refused [root@dell2400 ~]#
Obviously, I need to change that, so I can run Setup from a terminal window, run the dig + trace command as you did from one of your IPCop boxes, etc. I just turned on SSH access in IPCop. It says it uses Port 222 which is non standard for SSH....
I am looking at it from the web interface. Under DHCP, for the Green Interface, for Primary DNS, it shows 192.168.10.1 If I change that to 127.0.0.1 I'm done? Other than possibly needing to change a configuration setting in the ADSL Modem, regarding DNS? Thanks much!
