I'm running knoppix 3.2 from cd.My networkcard gets recognized...
if i type ifconfig in a rootconsole two interfaces show up
eth0 en lo or something...
If I use netcardconfig something goes wrong...
at the end of netcardconfig,in the consolewindow one of the messages says broadcast : hostname not recognised or not resolved
i give an ip-adress of 192.168.1.6 a netmask of 255.255.255.240
a broadcastaddress of 192.168.1.255 a gateway 192.168.1.11 and an dnsserver 195.238.2.21 (my isp's dns) the gatewayaddress is of my officeconnect router!
What i can do is something like this
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.6 netmask 255.255.255.240 broadcast 192.168.1.255 up
no problem after that i can ping my networkcard and other (windows) pc's on my lan!
but the netcardconfig does not do is job or I do something wrong.Apparently I cant update the /etc/network/interfaces and resolv.conf files as they are on the cdrom and you can't write to a cd rom
or can I update these files...How do I do that?
any help would be greatly appreciated
