There is no way any of us can help you if you do not supply us with network info: what is your network card? Do you use a DSL modem? A cable modem? A telephone modem?
Please describe your home network settings.

With a router (except for a few rare cases of strange routers), you just Boot Knoppix and start using your high speed connection; no setup needed at all (it gets it by DHCP from the router).

That means little unless you tell us what is actually happening. I had this discussion with someone else recently and when he finally put a URL into the Knoquror browser that starts with Knoppix he found that he was already on the Internet.

As I said, there have been a few reports that a router does not do DHCP properly. I have seen this on an old Belkin router. To test for this run netcardconfig and try to do a DHCP setup. Does it fail?

If it does fail, you can try to manually set the parameters into netcardconfig by answering the first question in the negative.

It might help if you told us what your network interface card is.

well i have a linksys router. and i just went on its homepage to see everything that it supports and what not and it does support DHCP and it is enabled. And whats happening is i click to go onto the internet and it said that it can not find site www.google.com

What happens when you run netcardconfig?


What is your NIC?

By the way, my Linksys handshakes with Knoppix fine, so it may not be a DHCP problem at all. Still want to know what your Network Interface is.
