Help connecting to internet (I have the info)

[Caim]

I have read the forums for a few hours in search for answers but the search was hopeless and I could not get anything working. I cant connect to the internet when running Knoppix off the DVD. I have knoppix 4.0.2 DVD EN.
I a completely new to linux and pretty much new to networking in general. I have a 2wire HomePortal 1800HW. Here is a link to it LINK

Here is some additional info on my router:

* Connectivity technology
* Wired, Wireless

* Data link protocol
* USB, Ethernet, HomePNA 1.0, HomePNA 2.0, Fast Ethernet, IEEE 802.11b+

* Features
* Switching, Manageable, DHCP support, Firewall protection, DoS attack prevention, Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI)

* Framing format
* ANSI T1.413

* Networking standards
* HomePNA, IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.11b+

* Switching protocol
* Ethernet

* Transport protocol
* L2TP, PPTP, IPSec, PPPoA, PPPoE, TCP/IP

* Bandwidth
* 2.4 GHz

Here is the information of my ethernet card from the motherboard website: (ASRock Dual sata2)
- Realtek RTL8201CL 10/100 Ethernet LAN PHY
- 802.3u, WOL supported

Here is what I get when I run ifconfig:

Link encap: Ethernet   HWaddr 00:13:8F:61:6A:AA
inet addr:172.16.1.35  Bcast:172.16.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0

TX packets:0 errors:2 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:2

RX bytes:4656 (4.5 KiB)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

I have DSL and when I bot Knoppix it detects eth0 but when I no connection. I tried running netcardconfig and clicking yes, failed. I tried clicking no and I entered my settings from windows which are:



Any help is appreciated

With DSL you either need to have a modem with a built in router, use an external router (very inexpensive), or to run PPPoE software (PPPoA in some parts of Europe). Knoppix supports running PPPoE but I've never used it and can't talk you through it. From the data you posted it does not look like you have a router (the IP address would be different). For a little more on routers see my generic answer #4.

==============//////////================
As your NIC card is not getting an IP automaticlly, try this...............put in this IP stack of numbers.
172.16.0.100 IP
255.255.0.0 SN mask
172.16.0.1 default GW
172.16.0.1 DNS...................................
from your posting , it looks like your 3rd octet on the IP address and the GW and the DNS don't match. For this to work you need to have the NIC card IP and the GW and DNS on the same subnet. and the IP addresses need to be close.
Do the static IP first and then see if you can ping the two wire home portal first. Hardware connection. $ ping 172.16.1.1, or ping 172.16.0.1, or ping 172.16.0.2, or 172.16.1.2, or ping 172.16.2.1, or 172.16.2.2.

Having worked for SBC tech support I can feel your pain. Getting an answer to a linux question is aganist the rules. SBC tech support does not support linux and will not answer questions about the set up. You have to remove your questions from the realm of Windows and Operating systems. I can make some guesses about your setup, but without specific information, I can't do you any good.

The two wire is shipped out set up as default.
twowire ip address in the NIC card= 172.16.1.1, or 172.16.0.1, or 172.16.1.2, or 172.16.0.2, etc.
DHCP is turned on.
DHCP range is 172.16.1.100 to 172.16.1.254, with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0.
The internal firewall is on by default. SBC will help you set up the device if you do it from a windows machine that they have their software(SBC) running on. Customer lock in. L O C K in.

When you get a tech support person on the phone?????????, these are the questions you need to get answered.
Can he, SBC tech, see your modem( the two wire home portal)? He should, even with out a computer (yours)connected to it.
The two wire is a DSL bridge, and a router and a firewall, and a wireless access point?????????? Yes!!
Can he tell you the static IP address settings to connect your computer NIC card to the two wire?
172.16.1.100............Yes! Then can you log in to the two wire with a web browser????? Which OS and NIC card you have is not important. If he can't answer the questions hang up and call back. Try not to get into a discussion of the merits of Windows, Mac and Linux with HIM. The two wire has a firewall and IDS systems that grants access based on MAC address. you have to go into the two wire and make the two wire accept a MAC address.
