Scott: Thank you, for the above explanation! I was able to SSH into
the IPCop box on Port 222, very early this morning (with the syntax
correct, that was easy) and I saw the Setup menu.

Amen. I will write down the original settings, before I change them.
In a tiny way, the IPCop box is a "Production" Server in our house. I
have two (2) very demanding users: a wife and a 7 year old daughter
and I don't want them mad.... :-) Something like not wanting your boss
at work mad at you....
I am going to be working on this, when they are not using their
Desktop boxes and I am going to do this on our Backup IPCop box, which
actually has much better HW than the one we normally use for IPCop. If
I can't get this to work on IPCop, that is the one I will install SME
Server or the CentOS 4.4 Server CD on. It sounds like this is going to
work on IPCop, which will be much easier and much faster for me to
get up and running properly.
Question: Awhile ago, I got into the configuration settings for our
ZTE ADSL Modem.
For the change to me having my own Caching DNS Server, in the settings
for the ADSL modem at this time, using the DNS servers at our ISP:
Primary DNS Server 200.29.104.22
Secondary DNS Server 200.29.96.22
When I think I am ready to test the change I make to IPCop setting(s),
should I set those to 0.0.0.0. so I can use my own DNS Server ? Or.
leave those spaces blank? Or, leave them as they are now? Thank you,
very much, for your time and help, which are greatly appreciated!
