(added after trying something) I got it to boot using the Cheat Code nodhcp at the initial boot: prompt, so I guess that makes this whole post moot.
Not really, you would like it to do dhcp properly and have it get the setup from the router.

Can you do a netcardconfig and get an automatic setup after booting?

If not, can you do a netcardconfig and manually do the setting and have the card work?

About the only case of this I remember seeing reported here was someone who was using a router that has a feature that will only let NICs who's MAC address is in a router table have access. And on top of that, for some reason we never resolved, the MAC address was different under Knoppix!!! So you might check if your router has that feature and disable it if it does, at leat long enough to test. What brand router is it anyway? And you are hardwired to that router, not wireless, right?
