ipcop support

I am trying out IP Cop for the first time. I connected all the equipment and I cant seem to get a connection on the red interface

I had the FW working on a clearos box, the name and password were the only entries
in the FW and the VCI and VPI and LLC are set in the netgear modem

So i took a working Modem and connected it to the IPCop box in PPOE mode and it wont connect
at all I cant even ping out from the FW or even see what the red interface's IP address is

if i take the modem off and reconnect it to the Clearos box it connects fine.

thanks Terry

Is it an ethernet cable that goes from your external modem to your IPCop box?

What did you set the RED interface type as?

Did you turn your ADSL modem/router device into a modem/bridge ?
If no, then you'll prolly be troubled by the dreaded double-nat.
STF for details. (there should be an emoticon for yawn.)
HTH

Not to mention that IPCop can't control the PPPoE link unless the modem is in bridge (dumb modem) mode.
