Okay right now i have it set up so that the IPCop box uses dhcp to get an ip from the qwest gateway box. I enabled the dhcp server on the IPCop box so the rest of my box's on the netwrok get an IP using the range 192.168.1.200/250 the adress of the green nic is 192.168.1.1 and the red nic is dhcp. when i try and get an address on my box it just fails, did i miss an option or something? or am i doing it completely wrong?
