kazi, you didnt help much, and the modem isnt fucked, just the 56k is. now gtfo.
rjan, thx.
the ethernet card is 10/100 LAN Card by Linksys.
its Knoppix 3.2 (STD) I went to the www.knoppix-std.org site, and i notice their on like 0.1, thats where i get confused. cause says Knoppix 3.2
Need to get Knoppix to notice the ethernet card, and the connection. If that doesnt work, imma need to figure how to reinstall windows.
