i'm not giving up quite yet lol, so if anyone has any ideas for a software solution that would be cool. Another thing: i tried the Kubuntu 5.10 Live distro, and had the same problem. the distro was working except for the browser. if any1 has any suggestions on how i can get this to work i would appreciate it.

We have no information in what you posted about what is actually happening. You are much more likely to get help if you give us details about the nature of "not working", including output from all the usual suspects like ifconfig and netcardconfig, than if you just say "it's not working, help".

Ok sorry about that. what i meant was that i have the same problem with the router installed as i had without the router. i boot with knoppix (or Kubuntu 5.10 Live) and everything seems to work except the connection to internet. when start the firefox it says website cannot be found. how do i get the output from iconfig and netcardconfig etc?

The simple answer is that you run those commands and make notes about what it said ("I got some kind or error message" is not a good or useful note). If you have experience with Linux you can send the output to a file and then copy the file to your post, but that is more than I expect from many of the users here. ifconfig is run from a shell (command prompt window). netcardconfig can be run from the menu or from a shell prompt. The less information that you give us the less likely we will be able to help, the more information that you post about the problem and your hardware, the better your chances of getting helpful feedback.

thanks Harry,
ok i got it to work finally. all i did was run netcardconfig and answered yes to the question: use dhcp broadcast. then got the message: dhcp broadcast from device eth0 OK. auto lo eth0. and now it is working! unbelievable!
could it be that this command *netcardconfig" was all i needed? i will try a few more times to see if maybe i was just lucky....

Knoppix normally does an automatic netcardconfig during the boot process, which is why for most users Knoppix doesn't even need the netcardconfig to be done manually at all. It would be interesting to watch the boot process closely (I think there is even a log that you could check) and see if you can see what is going wrong during the boot that causes you to need this at all. But yes, it seems like all you needed was netcardconfig.

during the boot process i noticed it said *netw dev eth0 detected ....(backgrounding) *. when the boot is finished and i try to start fx it cant connect. and when i run netcardconfig i get the question about dhcp and answer yes it says failed. so when i try again and this time answer no i get ip and mask and more filled in and i can just click to confirm these values. after this when i try fx it does still not connect, but when i run netcardconfig again and this time answer yes i get: *dhcp broadcast from device eth0 OK.*
so it seems i must run netcardconfig two times and first answer NO to the question about DHCP and then run it a second time answering YES to the same question after i have confirmed ip and mask etc to get connected to the internet.
