How exactly is your IPCop connected to the router?  Wired Ethernet?

Please confirm that the router gives an IP address via DHCP to IPCop's
RED interface.  If so, have you tried using a static RED IP address?

Presumably you aren't expecting the router to give an IP to anything else?

Is there in fact anything else connected to the IPCop---router network?

Have you tried switching on the devices in a different order?

If all else fails it should be possible to run the disconnect/connect
scripts from /etc/rc.local near the end of the boot process, or from
a cron job (which first tests for a connection), something like that.
