Greetings all,

I am quite new to Knoppix and Linux in general and would like alittle help on this one.

I am unable to setup KNoppix 3.4 to get on the internet. I run a p4 2GHz sysetm with realtek rtl8139 family fast ethernet nic and a motorola SB5100 cable modem. I've gone through the forum to pick out the relevant threads and has tried to boot with knoppix noapic, but it does seem to work.

Knoppix could detect my ethernet nic but just refused to work. It keep saying "Network unreachable". Below is the log of the things I have tried so far and the output.
