Hi Mr YouP

Thanks for your report. I found two other similar typos in pppsetup.cgi, and
have uploaded corrections to CVS.

Merci encore.

Hi Alan,

I tried what you suggested and this solves the problem, i.e. IPCOP 1.4.0b7 
boots successfully and performs as expected with settings restored from 
1.4.0b6.

However, this is the very first time in so many ipcop install that I have 
to do this.

All previous install resulted in a bootable system without further 
intervention.

Do you need more info ? May be you have already a clue of the problem ?

Cheers,

Vincent

Hi !

I'm an quite long IPCop user (since 1.2) and I've just install the 1.4b7 
version.

I've notice a quite important bug (since very trivial to fix). In the 
pppsetup.cgi page, the "Interface" dropdown menu is buggy, actually instead 
of 
"<option value='pppoe'", it is written "</toption value='pppoe' " (so you 
can't see the pppoe option in the list)

so simple to fix no ? :)

Thanks for the work and good way !

Mr YouP.

Hi,

I seek enlightenment on the subject of internet access via a Blue VPN.

With Blue access enabled on IPCop (1.4.0 b7) my Wireless Windows 98 
laptop can access the internet but cannot see the Green LAN (as you 
would expect).

With a Blue VPN enabled on IPCop and an SSH Sentinel 1.3.2.2 installed 
and running on the laptop, the laptop can see shares on the Green LAN 
but can no longer access the internet, not even a ping.  The Green LAN 
can also see the laptop.

Having R'd every FM I can lay my hands on, I'm sure it's something to 
do with gateways but I can't fathom quite what.

Without the VPN running, the laptop default gateway is the Blue 
interface of IPCop and I suspect that when I start the VPN this needs 
to change to be something visible to the green LAN (of which the laptop 
is now pretending to be a part) but I haven't got a clue how to achieve 
such a piece of trickery - I don't even know whether it would have to 
be done on the firewall or on the client.

All IP addressing is static.  All PCs have ISP's DNS entered manually.

Green 192.168.0.x /24
Blue  192.168.1.x /24

I'm tantalisingly close to getting what I want out of all this, but I'm 
falling at the final hurdle.

Solutions, or even just suggestions, invited.

Regards,  Andrew Borland (UK)

Hi,

During my ongoing struggles with the Blue VPN, I've observed a couple 
of things that may count as buglets.

Firstly, the Open/Closed indicator for the Blue VPN seems to bear 
little or no relation to it's actual state at any given instant.  It 
does seem to eventually catch up but the lag is measurable in tens of 
minutes.  Refreshing the page, or going away and coming back doesn't 
seem to help, but closing the Web GUI and logging in again does seem to 
be a fairly reliable means of updating that particular bit of the 
display.

Secondly, in the "connections" display, the legend says that VPN 
connections should be purple, but mine are all blue.  Is the purple 
intended to only apply to VPNs active on the Red interface or should it 
be being applied to blue?

And a request to end on:  Would it be possible for the installation 
routine to check the integrity of the CD from which it is supposed to 
be installing BEFORE it formats the hard disk.  I just suffered a 
CD/ROM incompatibility and was left with a dead firewall while I went 
and burned a new CD on a different brand.  Easy enough when its all in 
one office, but what if one was out in the field?

Regards,  Andrew Borland (UK)

It all worked just fine here, which is perhaps surprising as it's my 
first go at "torrenting".

I fetched the whole lot through IPCop beta6 without any problems, I 
then updated the IPCop box and then "resumed" the completed download to 
reactivate my connection and bits of it have been being grabbed on and 
off ever since, now through beta7.  It's nice to give my Orange network 
something to do.

No one is seeding b6 any more.  The torrents are just to handle the
rush crowd after the the ISO gets first announced.  After that you
should switch to sourceforge's copy which will be copied to all the
mirrors. 

And I will stop seeding b7 on Monday as well.

Well I used bittorrent (well the BitTornado client in fact) to download 
b7 while running IPCOP 1.4.0b6 with no problems, so it's a puzzle. It 
might  be interesting to try downloading it again (to a different 
folder) and see if it's a repeatable problem.

I left the .torrent open for 2 days, and try as I might with various 
clients, the file would not pass 95% and 39MB. Rebooting the box, using 
other OSes, or rebooting the 1.4b6 box made no difference. Bypassing the 
Ipcop box brought down the rest if the file in seconds.

Worth looking into the logs, or just upgrade to 1.4b7?

Hello

i have 2 problems with 1.4b7 (did not test previous versions):
 - The setup does not realize bochs virtual NE2000
 - The final disc is not booting "Missing operating system"


What to do?



Step by step to reproduce:

I booted the IPcop1.4b7 ISO in bochs

It starts flawlessly
and stops because i had only a 100MB disk...
Using 200M it complains:

  Your harddisk is very small, but
  you can continue without any swap.
  (Use with caution). 

(An exact number "need 120MB, better 300MB" or so would be helfull) 


after approx. half an hour (800MHz PC), IPcop setup finshed work.

I let him search explizit for the virtual NE2000:
It was not found (m0n0wall did not find it neither).

Ok, let's boot from disk

Bochs BIOS, 1 cpu, $Revision: 1.103.2.2 $ $Date: 2004/02/02 22:39:22 $

ata0 master: Generic 1234 ATA-2 Hard-Disk (199 MBytes)

Booting from Hard Disk...
Missing operating system


oooops...

"Missing operating system" comes from the dics boot sector....



OK, let's boot toms famous recovery floppy.

The ethernet card was found(!):

..it stops dead in the water not finding any boot loader.

..my grub floppy trick uses the installed kernel etc, it's just ipcop's
grub installers that fails AFAICT, everything else looks ok.

..also check out the installed ipcop's '/usr/sbin/grub-install', 
it fails to install grub on at least '/dev/hda'. 

..why _is_ it there anyway?  It belongs in the installer and in 
_upgrade_ patches. 0.1.1 etc thru 1.3.x, upgrading to 1.4+.x, IMHO.

So what was the error reported when it failed ?

Have you tried booting DOS and running 'fdisk /mbr' ?

Can you try installing 1.4.0b7 again and then booting DOS and running 
'fdisk /mbr' ?

Does that allow 1.4.0b7 to boot ?

Alan.

Thank you Team IPCOP for all your hard work and effort
in making IPCOP so awesome, I enjoy it and have enjoyed
using for 2 or 3 years, I'm old and can't remember :>)

I had 1.4 beta 5 installed and now beta 7.
I notice when you hang up via dial up modem the main
home page still says Connected...it doesn't go back to idle.
It did it in beta 5 and beta 7.

Also on the dial up page. If you choose  " In case reconnection fail,=
 switch to profile:"
seems to always revert back to the 1st one in the list, even if selecting=
 another one
and saving it. It will show the saved one, then the next time you visit the=
 page, it will
have the first selection chosen

Also, damn I'm so picky :>) Could you add a link on the image
to the main ipcop.org page or better yet maybe directly to the support
forums. 

Anyway just a couple of suggestion that thought of....tell me to go the=
 hell away
now :>)

Beta 5 and 7 have been very stable. I ran beta5 for 6 days without reboot.

I'll go back to my cave now !

Thanks Team IPCOP- You Rock !

Hi,

..grub and grub-install failed for me, so I made a grub diskette with: 
' cd tarballs ; cat ipcop-1.4.0b7/usr/share/grub/i386-pc/stage1 \
ipcop-1.4.0b7/usr/share/grub/i386-pc/stage2 | dd of=/dev/fd0 '

..at the grub promt, enter these 3 command lines: 
' root (hd0,0) ' 
' kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda4 panic=10 acpi=off ro '
' boot '

..the first should find an "ext2" fs, the 2'nd a bzimage kernel etc,
and the final boots the box.

Download b7 via the above torrent, upgraded b6 using floppy backup. Now

Hi all,

I downloaded from the .torrent file and installed IPCop 1.4.0b7. I restored 
a saved config from version 1.4.0b6.

The system was previously stable & working fine. With newest version, the 
computer doesn't boot properly anymore. An error (from Grub ? - i don't see 
splash screen) shows up as "operating system loading error" or something 
along the line of this.

I reverted to IPCop 1.4.0b6 and all is fine.

Cheers

Vincent

Sorry if this has been asked for -- and I'm assuming it's not changed in 
v1.4 -- but it would be greatly helpful if there were an way on the web 
interface to change the port that Squid uses from 800.

I can edit the Squid configuration file manually, and I can change 
proxy.cgi so that I don't have to do it manually each time, but it would 
be great if this were a configurable option.

hi,
Its a known issue.
a work around.
boot up a bootable cd knoppix etc,
mount the flash partition.
chroot /mnt/mount_point /bin/bash
re-run grub-install.
that should fix it.
