I just booted knoppix 5.0. As ususal everything is great .. except the networiing doesn't work.

Everything looks setup correctly, but no access to outside world.

IP address is good (local from dhcp server on my router) . .is correct 192.168.0.7
(I ran netcardconfig by hand as well from the menu ... exits successfully).
I can successfully do ipup eth0 and ifdown eth0 ... but no pings works .. nothing.

- if config flags for eth0 say UP BROADCAST MULTICAST (but not RUNNING).


pings seem to be going to "lo" interface (The TX packget count gets updated there).

Any help will be appreciated .
