internet won't work - possible fix
I was just searching the forums when I came across a post from mister Klaus Knopper himself. I haven't had a chance to try it yet but hopefully this will help alot of people who are using DHCP to get their internet back up after a hdd install.

The harddisk-installed system is a "normal" Debian. You have to add the
lines
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dynamic dhcp
I think this should be in the FAQ (if it was I missed it)
What do you mean by "internet doesn't work" ?
I ask because I just installed Knoppix to my hard drive last night.
I can connect to ISP, but I can get to any web sites.......even google.
Is the advice offered in this thread germane to my issue?
While I ran the install script I said no to "dhcp" not understanding what the option was, will this have a bearing on my problem?
I also said "no" to the options of having many servers started as I will be running Knoppix as a desktop and not a server.
Could these choices have anything to do with my "internet problem" ?
Thanks in advance
