Sometimes, after a storm goes by, the wife starts up Knoppix before I plug the dsl modem back in. She and I would like to know how to tell Knoppix to access the internet again without shutting down her computer and restarting. I think it should be fairly simple. Newbie linux user, so need fairly complete steps, assume no knowledge of CLI, even tho I know a tiny bit.

This is on a system running off cdrom (hers, actually both), she wont run off installed linux...silly woman!!

The modem is an actiontec from Qworst...er...Qwest's dsl.

She 'latched' onto knoppix and wont let go! If we owned a gun and Billy Bob walked by, well he might have to run 'faster than a speeding bullet' if she had ahold of it!!! Hehehe.

TIA
