internet not reachable with knoppix 3.2
I'm running knoppix 3.2 from cd.My networkcard gets recognized...
if i type ifconfig in a rootconsole two interfaces show up
eth0 en lo or something...
If I use netcardconfig something goes wrong...
at the end of netcardconfig,in the consolewindow one of the messages says broadcast : hostname not recognised or not resolved
i give an ip-adress of 192.168.1.6 a netmask of 255.255.255.240
a broadcastaddress of 192.168.1.255 a gateway 192.168.1.11 and an dnsserver 195.238.2.21 (my isp's dns) the gatewayaddress is of my officeconnect router!
What i can do is something like this
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.6 netmask 255.255.255.240 broadcast 192.168.1.255 up
no problem after that i can ping my networkcard and other (windows) pc's on my lan!
but the netcardconfig does not do is job or I do something wrong.Apparently I cant update the /etc/network/interfaces and resolv.conf files as they are on the cdrom and you can't write to a cd rom
or can I update these files...How do I do that?
any help would be greatly appreciated

Netcardconfig should work for you but that being said you can edit the file manually. Open a console window (clam shell icon on the taskbar) and sudo gvim /etc/network/interfaces and enter your settings maually and save the file. Then sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart will restart the network with the new settings. DNS entries are in the /etc/resolv.conf. example files:
/etc/network/interfaces
Code:
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
# automatically added when upgrading
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.254
/etc/resolv.conf
Code:
search wolf
nameserver 192.168.1.10
nameserver 192.168.1.34
The search domain in the resolv.conf is not really necessary I have had it working without it with no problems. BTW lo is the loopback interface eg. your computer used to communicate with everything.

lang=be setting does something weird
I just remember when having trouble with the netcardconfig utility in knoppix 3.2 the console window said something like :
"GKL : Locale is not supported
and then the utility appeared (netcardconfig)
I point out that I started netcardconfig from a console as root while having specified lang=be at the boot prompt!!
see my post on language setting in general support
