I'm a newbie. I Use knoppix 4.0.2 live dvd edition at my workplace. We have a windows LAN, I can connect to the internet with same machine when I boot windows XP, but I can't with knoppix. Knoppix detects my network hardware properly and I can see my network over samba but when I try to connect internet my browser says "connected with ...com waiting for reply" but nothing happens. Can I do something for correct this.
Thanks for your help
yours sincerely

Check if you browser is setup with a proxy (cache) or ask your sys admin about the proxy setup.
Most companies are using this in combination with a "nasty" (proxied) firewall to secure their network.
Hope this helps,

Try using the command pump in a shell.
pump -i eth0
or
pump -i eth1
this will configure an IP address for your PC. You'll probably find that your connected but you haven't been given a specified IP address.
this command has to be run as root. I think knoppix uses root on live version.
