I have added a computer to Blue but it is not connecting to the Internet. What do I do?

Make sure you have read over the Blue Mantra

  • Blue must be on a separate physical wire from Green (not on same hub/switch)
  • Blue must be on a separate logical subnet.
  • Blue cannot access Red unless Blue Access are opened.
  • Blue cannot access IPCOP unless Blue Access are opened.
  • Blue cannot access Green unless pinholes are opened.
  • Blue can be port-forwarded to in exactly the same manner as Green.
  • Set IPCop blue IP address as gateway and DNS server for Blue devices when not using DHCP.
  • When using DHCP on Blue, verify that IPCop Blue IP address is the DNS server in the DHCP configuration page.
  • When using an access point, you must add each computer individually to Blue Access.
  • When using a wireless router and connecting via the WAN port, you must add the MAC address of the wireless router to Blue Access.
  • When using a wireless router and connecting via the LAN port, you must add each computer individually to Blue Access.
  • When adding a computer to Blue Access, you can control access by:
    • MAC Address Only
    • IP Address Only
    • MAC and IP Address
