Connecting to the internet

**Bluebones** · 09-21-2005, 12:14 AM

I just downloaded Knoppix so I can cash in the warranty on my faulty HD and still use my computer. However, I can't connect to the internet with Knoppix.

I use DSL from SBC. My modem is a Speedstream 5360. I'm a noob to Knoppix, so I don't know what all I need to tell you. Please help. <3

Speedstream 5360 is an external Ethernet ADSL modem.
This is good. This is much better comparing to USB models (much easyer to setup).

"Linux support: Yes"

You must configure your network card and your ADSL conection. Try to find this 2 things in K-menu and make some experiments.

Something like Start menu in MS Windows. In the very down-left corner of the monitor. Click on it and open diferent programs to find out what is what.
