Lan configuration in Knoppix

[rickymoney]

Hi all,
I have some problems connecting to internet with knoppix.
I have a Toshiba centrino laptop, normally I used XP and connecting to my LAN (university) is not a problem.
I just type the IP, Subnet mask, gateway and host into the tcp/ip protocol and everything is up and running.
I tried with Knoppis, where I entered IP, Subnet mask andgateway into the box when I am asked one by one, but I just left blank for broadcast ip and server name since I dont know what should I input.
But it was not working and I was not connected.
Anyone knows the way to do this right?
Please help.

.... but I just left blank for broadcast ip and server name since I dont know what.....

The broadcast IP should be the the highest IP address within the range of the mask. For example, for a class C network like 192.168.1.xxx it would be 192.168.1.255. For a class A address like 10.xxx.xxx.xxx it would be 10.255.255.255. It's needed for things like ARP, so don't just discount it because you don't think you will be broadcasting.
