Need help for internet; complete newbie!
During boot, everything is OK, then, when i'm at my knoppix desktop and i go (for example) to google.com, it says
"unknown error
Host not found"
i tryed "netcardconfig", but it failed
i cant ping websites (host not found)
pinging IPs have some effect (pinging xx.xx.xx.xx T=0), i dont think it is is sending anything
could someone please tell me how to make knoppix find my internet card and get it online?
PS: I have no clue what my card is and no clue how to find

After Knoppix boots, open a terminal. You can find one either in the menu or on the taskbar. It is akin to the comman prompt in windows only much more powerful. In the terminal type this:
lspci -v
That will give you some information about your hardware. There are several commands you can enter into a terminal that will give you all sorts of information here.

thx, rickenbacherus
My computer is a Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz, 480 MB of ram
My ethernet controller/card is: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+
When i do ping in Knoppix with website (ping google.com), it goes:
ping: unknown host google.com
When i go ping with IP (ping 216.239.39.99 [google ip]), it goes:
PING: 216.239.39.99 56 bytes of data
ping: wrote 216.239.39.99 64 chars, ret=-1
ping: sendto: Network is unreachable
=====
I think that Knoppix doesn't know that an ethernet card is there, so it cant access it, and I dunno have to make it work...
What should i do?
