Hello,
I'm new to Linux so I don't know a heck of a lot about it.
My HD crashed and Windows went all to hell so I'm giving this a try in the meantime. So far it's very cool.

Only two things don't work: Internet browsing and printing.

Browsing:
I'm using a NIC attached to a D-Link router which goes to my ADSL modem.
I ran the network setup (couldn't use DHCP, it timed out) so set it up manually. Not sure of the name server but I know the default gateway so put that in. It updated the info everything looked fine as far as I can tell. Knoppix can see and use my Ethernet card, no problems there. Inside Konqueror or Mozilla I can type in the address for my router and pull up the internal web pages for it. So far so good. Unfortunately I can't connect to any internet sites. The browsers finally time out & give up after a few minutes. I tried the PPPOE setup (though I read on here the router should handle that, it did under XP) but it says it can't find an ADSL concentrator. I'm thinking the problem is getting data to and from the modem and the router. I tried setting up Konqueror in port forwarding, to see if that would fix the problem, but no luck there either. So, any suggestions?

Printing: This may just be a driver issue, not sure. I have a Lexmark z52 printer conmnected via USB. Can set it up just fine using the setup wizard, but when I tell it to print a test page nothing happens. Printer doesn't even blink. Knoppix can see the printer and even tell me what it is, it just won't print to it. I've downloaded some drivers and will try them out, do you think it's just a driver problem?

Any help and advice is appreciated, thanks.
