Helllo a real newbie here running knoppix 3.2 from a cd until i can figure out how to get the internet working.
the rest i wil figure out later.
As far as i can see my network card is found and working good (broadcasting on dhcp) is the statement in my bootup list
but i do not have dhcp but a fixed ip on a com21 modem
I tried to change the settings of my networkcard with the wizard
to my ip gateway etc and i believe that is working too (i get a done call anyway)
but no activity on my modem leds on the send recieve leds
and no connection to the internet with the browser
it can't find my hostname apearrently
i seem to have to change my hostname somewhere to chello
can someone give me a hand with this ??
are there other chello user with com 21 modem in holland perhaps ?
i,m running from the cd (mayby that is a problem ?)
But i hope to avoid putting knoppix on my hard drive until i have enough knowlegde to get the internet and mail running.
Without internet i do not like to work with linux at all
the rest i wil figure out later.
