Perhaps dd failed because you tried to copy a file, rather than an ISO
image?  Or perhaps dd failed because your destination was a partition,
rather than than a device?

On the page:

   http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipcop/files/IPCop/IPCop%202.1.8/

are links to three installation files:  cd, netboot, and usb-fdd.  The cd
image is an .iso ; the netboot is a .tzg , the usb-fdd is a .gz .

A note which I found about two years ago with a google search recommended
copying the usb-fdd image file to a USB flash device, using the command:

  $ zcat ipcop-...-install-usb-fdd-i386.img.gz > /dev/sdb

The dd command is used to copy an ISO image to a flash memory device:

  # dd if=ipcop-...-install-cd.iso of=/dev/sdd bs=8M

Somewhere I found a recommendation for the 8 megabyte block size, but I do
not know the rationale for choosing that value.

In either case, the destination is the device ("sdb") and not a partition
on the device ("sdb1").

And, in either case, the device should be formatted FAT or VFAT.
