My internet provider is ITCDELTACOM. They provide an ADTRAN unit that breaks out the Internet and with cable connect to our switch. Again 256k banwidth. We have no firewall in house. Deltacom provides that.

Netcard config command results...
Ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255 up
route added default gw 10.22.11.113
SIOCADDRT: network unreachable
Auto lo eth1
Setting nameserver in / etc/resolv.conf to 66.184.128.38
The two above bold values jump out at me as a likely conflict. From what you are saying you don't have a local router. I'm confused by your setting an ip address of 192.168.xxx.xxx and also having a gateway address of 10.xxx.xxx.xxx. Both the 192.168.xxx.xxx address range and the 10.xxx.xxx.xxx address range are private address ranges that can not be routed over the Internet. It's not at all clear to me why you are using both of these address ranges, but it looks wrong. Are your other systems that are attached to the switch all 10.xxx.xxx.xxx address systems; do they have routable IP addresses, or are they 192.168.xxx.xxx addresses? Do you have any systems which run servers available to the Internet (such as web servers)? If so and if they have private 10.xxx.xxx.xxx or 192.168.xxx.xxx addresses how do you dirext Internet traffic to them without a router?

My thinking at this point is that you're going to need to configure an available and unused 10.xxx.xxx.xxx address into the Knoppix system. You'll have to determint the size of your subnet to know just what net mask and broadcast address to use. Looking at the settings in your other systems may help, as well as any info you have from Deltacom. And, of course, your answers to my above questions my cause me to change this opnion.
