[Herefordshire] IPcop troubles

[Julian Robbins]

Hi Noel

We should be able to help you. IPCop is relatively straightforward, so 
it must be something simple.

If you have finished the install ion the box, you never have to touch 
the box itself again !

It's all done via a web interface.

type :-

https://addressofipcop:445

Then it will ask you for a username and password - this is the 'admin' 
user that you setup previously.

Then it will let you in to complete the set up thru the web GUI where 
you set up the Dial number, ADSL username etc etc.

Please get back to me if you have a problem, as I have used it for 
nearly two years now. Otherwise try the Shropshire as many of them, have 
used it a lot.

Julian

Give me a shout over the weekend if you're still getting problems.
