do you have any machines connected to the lan acting as dhcp server?
Hi... been reading about linux for ages but was initially to shit scared to give it a try
downloaded knoppix and it looks fantastic and seems to run fantastically well too..
have got a few teethign problems but think once solved i am going to enjoy using this OS a lot and may abandon windows to a secondary boot option well we will see anyway
ok heres my problem:-
I have 4 pcs at home all connected to a switch...
all pcs are running win 2000 and al are on the internet thanks to one of pcs sharing it internet connection.
Now the knoopix install seems to be installing the ethernet card fine but is not seeing anything when i go into linnetwork neighbourhood
I go to the network card set up bit and do the dhcp setup thing but that doesnt seem to let me surf etc...
im a little confused about the manual ip set up...
my server pc ip settings are
ip: 192.168.0.1
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
so any idea how i get this to work for me?
ALL help will be much apreciated and will allow me to slowly convert myself to an avid linux fan!!!
thanks
mike

Run these three commands as root-
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw 192.168.0.1 eth0
echo nameserver 192.168.0.1 >> /etc/resolv.conf
192.168.0.200- this can be any IP so long as its in the same subnet as the rest of your LAN and is not taken by one of your other boxes.
How to mount a network share with samba-
Create a user knoppix on the windows box you want to connect to and set a password.
Run these two commands as knoppix-
mkdir /home/knoppix/Desktop/some_dir
smbmount //hostname/sharename /home/knoppix/Desktop/some_dir -o username=knoppix
You'll then get prompted to enter knoppix's password for access to the shared files.
hostname= the name of the winbdows box
sharename= the name of the shared folder/drive
some_dir- is an arbitrary name and will become a folder on your desktop through which you can access the remote files.
Ok.. I really hope you get this reply!
I saw your reply to my thread a long time ago Arkaine23... but have been very busy and I for some reason had half given up...
but thought I would give it another bash this morning!
WOW it worked straight away!
