We don't know any details about your network, but on every system I've tried that has an inexpensive router attached (except one Belkin model that I pitched) , I've been able to boot Knoppix or DSL and have been on the (wired) network with absolutely no setup at all. Routers are dirt cheap now. (Best Buy has one for $5 after rebate this week and CompUSA has an 802.11g wired/wireles on for the same price!) There are a lot of very good reasons for using a router, and at that price I can't find any reason not to.

I don't know anything about Slax, maybe this is the nature of this software on your hardware. But we've seen over and over cases where the disc boots slowly if burnt at a high speed, but works great if you burn a CD at slow speed.
