Hi,
I am new to this forum and fairly new to linux. I have been trying out the live DVD on an XP centrino laptop which has on board ethernet (and a wireless connection to our work server). When I boot up the laptop into windows I can just plug the ethernet cable into it and browse the net through a Netcomm Ethernet Plus 4 Modem Router.
I am sending this post from another linux machine (Mandrake 10.1) using the same modem router.
My problem is I cannot browse the internet at all from the Knoppix live DVD.
When I access the modem from the Mandrake machine by entering 192.168.1.1 I get the following output :

From a terminal on the Knoppix live DVD
I can ping 192.168.1.1
0% packet loss
I cant ping 192.168.1.5 because its firewalled
I can ping knoppix.net
0% packet loss
If I run ifconfig on the laptop I get amongst other things :-
eth0 inet addr: 192.168.10 Bcast: 255.255.255.255 Mask: 255.255.255.0

If I try running netcardconfig = DHCP broadcast from device eth0Operation failed. FAILED. Hit return to exit.
Then try to ping 192.168.1.1 (the modem router) I get
connect: Network is unreachable
Finally I can browse the internet from a live Knoppix 4.0.2 live CD form the laptop - likewise Mepis Live CD
I really would like to use the live Knoppix 5 live DVD on this laptop (because more is better :))
Can anyone help get me surfing from the live DVD please. :D
