First you will want to boot knoppix with a Cheat Codes, such as:
knoppix nodhcp
which will prevent it from attempting to get an IP address.
Then run the command:
netcardconfig
so you can enter your static IP info.

Then edit the /etc/network/interfaces file. If you need help, then refer to the Debian manuals as they cover it at debian.org or use google and search for 'debian /etc/network/interfaces'.
