thanks for your help!
first of all I am not sure what kind of modem I have. There is an ethernet cable going out of my pc and directly into a modem that the provider gave me. I looked on the site of the isp but they don't explain anything. On windows i just used the connection setup wizard chose direct connection to the internet using broadcast connection. I just typed in the username & password from my isp and it worked. How come that doesn't work in knoppix?
I don't get how ipconfig /release works. Does it store the configuration of windows on the hard disk? Or does it have to do with the network card? Will Knoppix do the rest by itself?
Is there a way to check weather my network card is detected by knoppix?
