problem with static ip
im using a 3com 812 remote adsl modem, 3.3 of knoppix, and the router has all the numbers it needs to connect ( ip , dns , username, password, etc. ) in it, so its connected to the internet and the problem is: how to make the netcard to connect with the router with knoppix?
its static ip, so i dont need dhcp because my ip its always the same... it gives a error anyways when tryinig the adsl/ppp thingy..
so i tried to manually configure it, but i dont know what to put on the netcard config, tried with the values there were and internet wont work.. plz help
it was running whiout problems on winxp
pd: im a linux noob
edit: i think my problem is in the broadcasting adress field.. how to know it? ( i have a winxp comp on the same network, but ipconfig wont give it
thanks

Hi. Maybe your router uses DCHP to connect with your knoppix client machine. Try using netcardconfig. From the K menu go to Knoppix then Network/Internet then Network card configuation. When it asks "Use DHCP broadcasting?" click on yes. If that doesn't work you may have to use PPPoE, which is in the same menu. You would have to enter your ppp user name and password supplied by your ISP. If that doesn't work, I defer to some of the experts on the forum. Perhaps your netcard isn't supported?

Maybe you could show us the output of "ipconfig/all" (under XP) ?
Assuming a class C network, the broadcast address should retain the 1st
three bytes of your IP, plus 255 (eg 192.168.1.255)

thanks for the answer
its supposed to be a network with internet access for all users, plus file sharing , thought im mainly focused on making the internet work on the knoppix machine.
here is the ipconfig/all of the winxp pc ( not knoppix one, but this one is in the same network)

its in spanish , if u dont understand anything tell me.. anyways seems very obvious
as you can see it isnt using DCHP , because i have a static ip, and when i say NO to the DCHP netconfig thingy, and i put in all the values, it seems to work, but when i go into mozilla or conqueror, it tries to connect to a url , stays a little, then it says the host not found error.
and the dades i put in the netcardconfig ( in knoppix ) are:
dchp: no
ip adress : 192.168.0.2
network mask: 255.255.255.0
broadcast: 192.168.0.255
gateway: 192.168.0.254
nameserver: 192.168.0.254 ( dont know what this is , its by default)
thanks in advance

[rant]why a bitmap, for chrissake?!? "ipconfig/all>ipc.out" would have captured this just as well[/rant]
It seems your other machine is on 192.168.1.X, so you need to use that as well:
ip adress : 192.168.1.2 (if you are certain this is unused)
broadcast: 192.168.1.255 (see, like in my example! scary isn't it?)
gateway: 192.168.1.1 (assuming 'puerta de enlace' corresponds to 'gateway')
nameserver: 194.179.1.100 (your ISP's DNS)
Please let us know whether this worked!

Thanks for letting us know. It's infuriating when you take the time to
understand someone's problem and suggest something, but they don't
even bother answering and reporting back. Enjoy your knoppix ride!
