Yea, it looks to me like that is a private IP address assigned by a NAT router. If that is correct then I doubt that you need (or want) PPPoE software under Windows either. And you should not need it under Knoppix. Are you sure that you are not already on the Internet? Most of us with routers just boot Knoppix, it gets its setup by DHCP, and we are on the Internet as soon as the boot finishes, no other setup needed.
