I have no problem getting online when running Windows XP, but when I run the KNOPPIX DVD it will not connect.

The network card identifies as 3COM 3C900B TPO (generic) in Windows.

With Knoppix 4.0.2 on DVD I only get the loopback. Have used the netcardconfig to try to get a DHCP IP address but that fails.

Trying to set IP manually does not work either.

During loading of Knoppix I see the eth0.

Suggestions for a Linux newbie?

Thanks
