What do you mean by "dhcp", client or server?
Are you behind a router or do you have a direct connection to internet?
Knoppix used to work just fine on my ECS mainboard, but now i have upgraded to a Soyo KT333 Dragon Plus. It detects eth0 fine, but DHCP doesn't work. I;ve tried entering the IP and all that manually, and it still doesn't connect. Anyone know what the problem could be?

I'm behind a router, i would be the DHCP client
Try booting Knoppix with the noapic option. Also, try booting then open a shell and enter "sudo mii-tools -r" then run "netcardconfig" and see if dhcp works (if it still doesn't, see if you can configure it manually, also done in netcardconfig).
edit: sorry, double post.

Knoppix says it detects eth0, could it be detecting it wrong??
Let's figure out what's working and what's not. You say you're behind a router, would that be a home cable/DSL router/switch like the Linksys? Do you have other computers on your network? Can you ping the router or the other computers? What happens when you try to do a netcardconfig? Any error message?Originally Posted by replica9000
The computer doesn't see the router at all. When I use netcardconfig and let it use DHCP, it just fails. so I enter in all the numbers manually, and it tells me the network is unreachable. Oh and yeah it's a Linksys Cable/DSL router. I've even tried directly pluging the PC into the modem, still nothing. Everything ran fine on my ECS board.
try booting with the cheatcode-
