Hi... been reading about linux for ages but was initially to shit scared to give it a try :shock:
downloaded knoppix and it looks fantastic and seems to run fantastically well too.. :)
have got a few teethign problems but think once solved i am going to enjoy using this OS a lot and may abandon windows to a secondary boot option :twisted: well we will see anyway :lol:
ok heres my problem:-
I have 4 pcs at home all connected to a switch...
all pcs are running win 2000 and al are on the internet thanks to one of pcs sharing it internet connection.
Now the knoopix install seems to be installing the ethernet card fine but is not seeing anything when i go into linnetwork neighbourhood :(
I go to the network card set up bit and do the dhcp setup thing but that doesnt seem to let me surf etc...
im a little confused about the manual ip set up...
my server pc ip settings are
ip: 192.168.0.1
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
so any idea how i get this to work for me?
ALL help will be much apreciated and will allow me to slowly convert myself to an avid linux fan!!!
thanks
mike
