How 2 ( Ethernet over Router)

[VenomGeR]

Hi dudes, im really a knoppix newbie.
I would like to know, how to do a connection over DHCP (Router).
I found netcard config, but that doenst work.
Well my question 2 this is: who is eth0 ( or so) , client or router

Could u tell my how to connect 2 the internet via a router?
It would nice ive have a how 2 with screens ( for idiots like my its easier 2 learn it ^^ ).

Well, now I know how 2 do netcardconfig, but it dont works. Mozilla says all the time looking up for hostname , gaim icq login dont login etc.

Could u tell me my Ips etc. in Netcard?

1.) Ip: 192.168.0.199
2.) Gateway: 192.168.0.1
3.) Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Netcardconfig

1. eth0 ?
2. gateway?
3.Nameserver?

etc.

And what can be the problem if after this the Internet dont works? :S

Eth0 is the first network card on the computer where you issue the command.
Type "ifconfig" without the quotes and post the output please.
Usually knoppix detects dhcp just fine. Perhaps you just need "sudo ifup eth0" and "sudo pump -i eth0"

EDIT: hmm, you seem to have added stuff to your post.
Can you ping anything like:
ping -c 2 www.google.com
ping -c 2 216.239.59.103

If you can ping the IP but not the domain name, have a look at /etc/resolv.conf or just paste it here.

Knoppix generally works fine with DHCP just by booting. There are several things that you could tell us that might help:

What make and model router? I've had no problems with Knoppix and DHCP, except for trying to boot with a Belkin router, which would not do DHCP properly with Knoppix (even though it would work with windows). The other eight routers I've personally tested it with have all worked fine.

What network card?

What version of Knoppix?

This is a boot from a live CD, isn't it? If it works from the live CD but not after an install tyhe post belongs in the HDD Install forum, not here.
