Try a crossover cable and a known good cable to connect the Inveneo machine to your egress device. Also, be sure to reboot your egress device whenever changing a connection as some ISPs will lock a modem to a MAC address (fairly common for DSL and Cable modems here in the US). You might also try looking at the "Interfaces" tab from the "Network Status" Page under the "Status" Menu in IPCop which will basically give you the output of "sudo ifconfig" Check that your network interfaces all are reporting "UP" status and (I know it sounds silly) that they are all on the appropriate subnet.
