Progress this morning! On our backup IPCop box (the one with much better HW) I updated IPCop and the Snort definitions and backed up that IPCop box to the HD on my Desktop. Then, I had a problem, when I tried to SSH into it. I got an Error, because the /root/.ssh/Known Hosts has the RSA Key for the IPCop box we normally use. I made a backup of that file and put the RSA Key for the Backup IPCop box there and then I was able to SSH into it. I put 127.0.0.1 for the Primary DNS and also for the Secondary DNS and tried to surf the web. No go. Playing with the IPCop options you suggested might be something I need to do. In DHCP Server configuration, the Primary DNS was set to 192.168.10.1 I tried changing that to 127.0.0.1 but I had the same problem. When I tried to ping one of my web sites by the domain name, it came back ping: unknown host I am up and running on our normal IPCop box again. Last night, I changed the DNS Settings in the ADSL Modem, from using the DNS Servers at our local ISP, to those of opendns.com and that probably will help a lot, until I can get IPCop configured properly for the Caching DNS Server. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
