    Some more details are needed. How are you connected to the internet through DHCP or static address also is it an always on connection or do you need to connect to the internet through PPPoE.

    Just a few ideas:

    To check your network card open a console window and type ifconfig then enter to see what the setting for your network card is and if it is detected. The command netcardconfig allows you to set the network card configuration. Also if you connect over PPPoE their is a configuration utility off Kmenu -> System -> DSL -> DSL/PPoE Configuration Tool.

    more information needed

    If you've been running Windows on this computer and have run any of the "security updates" for windows this year, see my posts in this forum titled Evidence WinXP "security updates" may break Linux and Knoppix using NatSemi DP83815 stopped working. There are also a pair of commands in these posts that should get you working again.

    If the "security updates" are not your problem, we need more information about your configuration and hopefully more details about what is failing. Run ifconfig. Also, you might download mii-diag from http://<a href="http://www.scyld.com...index.html</a>,
    compile and run it and tell us what it says about your network card.

    And I'm not sure since I don't know what is DHCP or static address?

    In that case it is more of a hardware question. What type model of card then. You could try in the console lspci -v to see if the card is detected or dmesg | less to see the boot messages one page at a time look for references to eth0 or even better post the output here. To get a file you can save to floppy just lspci -v > /ramdisk/home/knoppix/lspci.txt to save the output to the file in the knoppix home directory.

    Static address is when you have to enter the settings, ie your IP Netmask manually DHCP gets it's settings at boot from your connection to your ISP.
