Unable to connect to the internet
Hi everyone,
I can't seem to find the answer to this, so I decided to make a thread about this.
I'm running Windows XP Home Edition w/ SP1 installed, and all the updates available are installed also. I got Knoppix v3.2 (I downloaded it about 1 year ago, and haven't updated since for some reasons). What I did was reboot from the CD, which went fine. Then I opened up the browser, and it wouldn't connect. So I ran "Kommand", and typed in lspci, and got a list of some stuff on my computer. One was my ethernet card (nVidia...dunno what else it said about it though). So then I ran ifconfig eth0, which returned a "no device found" error. Then I tried pump, but I have to be admin to run it (forgot howto do this), and then restarting the network also failed.
More info: I have an external cabel/dsl box, which is ethernet. I get my IP from DHCP, and my IP isn't static.
So, basically, what I'm asking is does anyone know how to fix this?

1. Let me start by saying that I have no clue on Earth, BUT
2. I'd be really curious to see if a newer version of Knoppix would help. Like you, I started with 3.2 and put it aside, and it is amazing to me how many more drivers and apps that 3.4 has.
3. In a console, 'su' makes you root; 'sudo' makes you root for the particular command.
4. I'm running ADSL right now with DHCP on v3.4 - no configuration needed.

I downloaded 3.4, and booted it up. It detects it when I run ifconfig eth0, but it still won't connect.

Well Knoppix 3.4 does support onboard nvidia ethernet just fine. When you do ifconfig do you see eth0? Does it have an i.p. address? It would look like so:
Code:
$ sudo ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:2A:B4:A2:76
inet addr:192.168.1.101 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

You can always try /etc/init.d/networking restart or pump then see if you get an i.p. address. If you do get an i.p. can you ping inside the LAN? Out?

Same problem here, so it seems.
I have the same problem with 3.4. (lrdy made a new topic for this one, but maybe this wil shed some light here too, because i found out that DHCP-broadcast failed).
I used Knoppix3.3 with no problems (on both my laptop and desktop), but with 3.4, DHCP-broadcast doesnt seem to work on my laptop (it does on my desktop however) because if I run ifconfig I only see the local loopback thingy.
Any suggestions?
* I'm using a Toshiba Satelite Pro 4600
* Im using the knoppix26 cheat-code because the normal kernel hangs at startup.
Wimmel, the linux N00B but sertainly a linux FAN!
P.S. Excuse my bad english!
