I am trying knoppix 3.2 cd on my laptop, and I am using my winxp box's ICS (the ICS worked fine with my laptop running winxp as a ICS client). When I ran netcardconfig on the laptop, a message promted after a few seconds:

Sending DHCP broadcast from device eth0 Operation failed.
Failed.

I then tried to connect the laptop directly to my cable modem. This time, the network is automaticly setup and I can access the internet. So, the problem seems to be between winxp ICS and knoppix. I did some digging in the previous posts and but could not find a solution. Could someone please advise on how to diagnose and fix?

Thanks much.
