Knoppix CD Rom does not recognize my W2000 wireless set up

I have become interested in Linux and acquired the Knoppix 3.2 CD Rom from freewareCD's.com. This boots on my laptop Compaq Presario 12472 very nicely, but I cannot figure out how to get it to recognize my internet settings.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. My first attempt now with Linux.

Open a terminal.
