Yeah, I've got a Belkin G-Link Router attached to one computer, but not the one I am using with KNOPPIX. The one I am using is receiving the internet with the Belkin Wireless G Adapter. When I run KNOPPIX from the CD and try to use the web browser, it just tells me that the domain could not be found, no matter what I put in. I assume this means that it isn't seeing my adapter. I know nothing of KNOPPIX and any help at all would be appreciated.

Topic moved to networking because the poster put it in General.

This has been here for a while, and no one has done anything aside from move the topic, so does anyone really know anything, like a command?

next time your in knoppix save the following to a floppy.
(everything in code tags is a command)



ifconfig

iwconfig

if wlan0 and ath0 are not there. find the wireless cards drivers and try to install them with ndiswrapper.



cd /mnt/hda1/WINDOWS/system32/inf/
or

cd /mnt/hda1/whereyousavedthedrivers/towhenyouwasinwindows/
(must be mounted before hand)



ndiswrapper -i driverfile.inf

modprobe ndiswrapper

ifconfig
if wlan0 is not there try

ifconfig wlan0 up
then

iwconfig
if you see your app there and your not using encrption try


pump -i wlan0
if your using encrption / or your ap is not there. then use network-setup or wlanconfig script to set up your card to what ever is needed (essid wep key, channel, etc etc)
then try

pump -i wlan0

this has been posted in loads of places. so you can have alook all over the forum for more info on this.
