Probably because I'm behind the Firewall. If I can SSH into the ipcop box I will try dig +trace from there. If I can get the above to work, I suspect I may also need to change something in the configuration for the ADSL modem for DNS. Sounds like a quick and easy way to do this! I have my notes from when I installed IPCop on that box, last September. The ADSL modem IP is 192.168.1.1 and the Red NIC IP is 192.168.1.2 and the Green NIC IP is 192.168.10.1 and in the DHCP Server Configuration Menu the Primary DNS is 192.168.10.1 Thanks much!
