if you are having trubs with your nic in windose, then if it works in knopiix, it's not windose
but if it was working and now doesn't, knoppix won't fix it.
if it's dead, it's dead.

if it worx in knoppix, you are doing sumthing wrong in windose

if you have a (clearly stated) windows me system, there is no point in mentioning that you mught be in a WinXP system
((( Me suxx !!!! )))

but networking should be a sameness as win98se

if u need to pass files accross to windose, then you need to enable write mode in your knoppix desktop
the default access to your hard-drive is read-only

right-click your desktop icon for the hda1 and check the permissions....
make a directory where you can find it and save files a s necessary
don't blame me if it goes pear shaped.....
