Ok, I just switched from knoppix 3.4 to 3.6. With 3.4 when I ran the the script that helped me automatically set up an internet connection, everything worked fine, however with knoppix 3.6 it doesn't get past the ppoe configuration... I have a dsl connection. If anyone could help me with this problem (whats new in 3.6?) it would be greatly appreciated!

i'm a newbie to knoppix(linux).
I was wandering how to connect internet. I have dsl connection. tq
Things to look into:
Always run networkcard configuration first before run pppoeconfig.

Do i have to put in my own ethernet ip or set to dhcp.

It depends, if you run your pc from DHCP server or a router that has DHCP capability, you can choose to set dhcp or static ip with gateway set to your router's ip.
If you run from pc that not connected to a dhcp server/router, setting up static ip is a must.
Don't forget to set your ISP DNS ip if required by your isp. :D :D

My pc is connected to external dsl modem by lan port. Another newbie question is :? ? Which is one should i set ? :?: dhcp or static ip.
Btw, I'm using Knoppix 3.6. Just came to know this 2 weeks ago.
It is easier to set the connection under windows. It worked in windows.

hey good news! shah...
i use knoppix 3.4.
i got connect to internet.
I use external dsl model connected to my ethernet port.
Always run networkcard configuration first before run pppoeconfig.
I did the networkcard configuration. I chose to set static ip and enter the dns.
After that, I did the pppoe configuration. Walla...
I replied this post using knoppix 3.4. Yeay! :D
