Well, I have hard drive installations of Knoppix on two computers. Most everything seems to work well, but I need some help on two issues.

First, Samba won't start from the KDE menu item for starting Samba. And when I enter the command that the menu item uses from Konsole, it gives an error message that says something like, "This script can't be run from a regular installation." What does that message mean? Anyway, I have been able to start Samba from Konsole with command "/etc/init.d/samba start". But I am still curious about the failure of the KDE menu item.

Second, on one computer I am connected to a router that is connected to a dial-up modem for internet access. This setup works just fine on WinXP and on Win98. And I have one other computer connected to the router to form a small home network. I can log onto the router from Knoppix but when I try to connect to the Internet, it seems to "stall". I had this problem in Windows when the MTU setting was higher than my dial-up ISP allows. Can someone tell me where and how I can change this setting in Knoppix?

Thanks, jimbo
