Networking XP w/ a crossover cable w/ Knoppix
How in the hell do i network knoppix with xp using a crossover cable. I have been trying for a long time and i dont know what to do please help!
So far i have been able to see my computer on the LinNeighborhood but i cant connect to the internet or do anythings else like use nmap, telnet, lynx and so far knoppix is showing an ip of 169.254.118.13 that i assigned because of some post http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4873#22523 so i am not really sure what to do now.

um, you are doing an end to end connection so how can you connect to internet. The only place you can go to is the XP machine.
If you have the XP connected to the internet through other device(another network card or ADSL modem etc.), you need to enable routing on it. There is a service you need to install, if I recall.

If the xp pc is your internet source, you could set it up for internet connection sharing, and then you could browse the web from your knoppix pc as well.
You could set up an ftp server on your xp pc and then just ftp it from konqueror to copy and paste files.

So its that simple just set up my xp to share the internet then just by plugin the crossover cable to my knoppix it would work instantly???

I don't know anything about xp but with I've set up linux to use win98 internet connection sharing, win98 sets the "router" machine to 192.168.0.1, look at your NIC ip address, to see where it is set, then
So on your knoppix machine (using netcardconfig):
use a 192.168.0.X address (where X is 2-254 ie. if your xp machine is 192.168.0.1)
use 192.168.0.255 for your broadcast address
255.255.255.0 as your netmask
and use 192.168.0.1 as your gateway
