Hey Robert (it's me feend),
I'm using IPCop too. I have it setup though so that
just the gateway machine is using dhcp to get an IP.
My other machines are using the unreserved 192.168.x.x
range. So like the machine i'm on right now is
192.168.1.2 and I have a second nic in the gateway
machine with the IP 192.168.1.1. IP cop makes this
process pretty easy and enables NAT by default. Hope
that helped some. If you're still stuck I'll get on
irc and try and talk you through it.
