Try "ifconfig"
If your networkcard is detected it should state eth0 (or ethx if you have more than one card).
If your card doesn't show up try (as a root) ifconfig eth0 up.
If that doesn't work, perhaps posts your networkcard-model information here.
Normally knoppix should boot right to use the internet, and you don't have to configure anything.
Have you tried anything else than a browser. Eg "ping www.google.com" or ping 216.239.53.99 ?
That strikes me as a bit of an overstatement, as it greatly depends on how the user connects to the rest of the Internet. If you have a NAT router like I do (that takes care of log-in if needed) and a DSL or cable connection, then this is likely true. If you need to assign a permanemt IP address, log in to your account, set up PPPoE, or do other things to connect it is a bit different. To help Dark19 we really need him to help himself by telling us some of the details on what type of a network connection he has and what local network he has, if any.Quote:
