Ok what I did was the following:

I went to the root terminal and typed netcardconfig three times failing each time.
Next I removed the card and put it back in again.
Went to "K" - Knoppix - Internet - Network Card Configuration.
I then put in everything that I thought was needed for the card to access my router.
Once I did that in the terminal window it said auto lo something.
I then fired up Mozilla clicked on the Knoppix link, and BOOM! it worked.
