problem connecting to internet
hey
I cannot connect to internet with knoppix. I've searched the faq and the forum to find a way so solve it byt haven't found a way to do it. I'm really not that good at the whole computer thing so I might not understand everything but I'll do my best. My networkcard is a Realtek RTL8169/8110 Family Gigabit ethernet NIC. I have no clue what that means myself but it might be usefull. my connection is ADSL through a router. I read another answer were someone said it might help do run a netcardconfig and when i do it says it's ok. so it seems to find my networkcard but I can't connect to any site. my router is a Netgear WGR614. It's a wireless router but I'm not using the wlan right now. I don't know if there is any more information i need to give.
thanks.
PS. You'll have to excuse my poor english but since I'm not from US och UK or any other english speaking country I hope I'm excused

If your ifconfig shows that you have a correct IP address, try pinging a website for example:
ping www.google.com
If you can ping a website correctly but still can't browse any website, then enter this on the address prompt of your browser about:config. A whole list of parameters should be listed below. Look for parameter network.dns.disableIPv6 , the default value for this parameter is false. Change it to true by double clicking on it. You should be able to browse internet after changing this parameter to true. I also had a similar problem the first time I used Knoppix.
I hope this helps.
Cheers!
