I'm with Scott on this one. The IPCOP machine may know your ISP's DNS servers, but chances are your Mandrake box does not, all is see's is the IPCOP box, but it doesn't know any DNS info. You need to tell your Mandrake box where to get it's DNS info, which would be your ISP's DNS server IP addresses.
