Problem when configuring network on Knoppix 5.1.0 !
Hello. I have a problem installing my network/internet connection on Knoppix 5.1.0. I use the GUI interface found under Knoppix/Net/ Network Card Configuration. With same properties the inetrenet connection works fine with Knoppix 3.9 and Knoppix-STD ( i don't remember the version ). I think that there's a problem with resolving the names.
How can i configure manually the network ?
> eth0 x.x.x.x netmask x.x.x.x broadcast x.x.x.x up
> route add default gw x.x.x.x
And then what ?
Thank you in advance !
Mitko Kostov, Bulgaria.

Try this : if you can boot-up another system that works with your netcard, use it to obtain your router or modem address as applicable, and (optionally, to avoid unnecessary proliferation of addresses), the address that it allocates to your network card under DHCP.
They are likely to be of the forms (substitute your own figures):
192.168.A.B for the modem/router
192.168.A.C for the netcard
Then in Knoppix netcardconfig answer NO to DHCP,
enter 192.168.A.C for the netcard address
enter 255.255.255.0 Subnet Mask
enter 192.168.A.255 Broadcast
enter 192.168.A.B for Nameserver and Gateway
(Reference: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...287&highlight= )
Also you might have to command: ifconfig eth0 mtu 1500
(Reference: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26867 )
Good luck

The thing is that my net provider doesn't use DHCP and i have configured proparly and worked with the addresses for eth0, netmask, gateway and broadcast on Knoppix 3.9 and STD, but on 5.1.0 there's a problem.

Verifying of md5 checksum and burning a CD at slow speed are important.

[1] OK then from this you know your "nameserver/gateway" address (and the other network addresses !!! ) to enter into netcardconfig when you answer "NO" to "Obtain address automaticaly (DHCP)?"
!!! But DO NOT use Broadcast 255.255.255.255 with Knoppix 5.1 (please see earlier posting Friday Mar 16, 2007 5;17pm)

[2] Have you confirmed that /etc/resolv.conf was correctly edited by netcardconfig as used in [1] above ?
[3] What is the value of MTU shown by the command: iconfig eth0 ?
(if you still have a problem it would help to post the full output of iconfig eth0 )

Hello again. The problem was very simple : i configured eth0 and my LAN card was identifyied as eth1.
I'm really sorry.
