Hi all, I'm italian (sorry for my english!).
I have a problem: I have installed knoppix 3.4 on my notebook's hard disk, but my network connection (LAN) doesn't work.
I have one integrated ethernet card that Knoppix recognize fine. I have dual boot: XP and Knoppix.
I write my IP, DNS and gateway, but I can't connect to our LAN.
Thanks in advance

Is your card recognized?
lspci
Does it have an i.p.?
ifconfig eth0
Can you bring up the interface w/ pump?
pump
What about restarting the network?
/etc/init.d/networking restart

Hi, sorry for reply delay.
I had done lspci (see attach text with lspci + ifconfig eth0 + pump + restarting network).
I must re-configure every time the ethernet card with IP.DNS and gateway (you can see in the attach text that the first time my ethernet card is not recognized, then it is necessary to rewrite the configuration!)

Dear mzilikazi, I edited my /etc/network/interfaces.I have a static I.P,.you see:
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
# automatically added when upgrading
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.205
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.205
gateway 192.168.0.1
I re-installed knoppix but I can't connect to LAN. I have tried two hours.
Where do I a mistake? Where is the error(s)?
Thanks
Edgardo

Dear mzilikazi,
I found the problem: network card configuration program recognize TWO ethernet cards (eth0 and eth1): eth0 is my firewire (1394) eth1 is my ethernet card!!!
Now I set eth1 card and now it is all OK: I can access Internet.
Maybe this information is useful for notebook's users with firewire.
I apologized to you for not telling that my notebook have one firewire and one ethernet card, and that netconfig recognized two ethernet card.
Thanks a lot for your help
Edgardo
