Don't edit the files directly.  Either on the IPCop box keyboard or via
ssh login, run the command 'setup' to get to a menu.  You will want to
manipulate the "Networking" settings and maybe others, I don't remember
the menus enough off the top of my head.  But, the selections to do what
you want are in there, I think.
