FIRSTLY I must apologise that I have just placed this question in the GENERAL SUPPORT SECTION OF THE FORUM as I did not realise at the time that this NETWORKING SECTION was available.

As this is my first venture into Linux, I have downloaded both the Live CD as well as the full DVD "KNOPPIX_V5.0.1.CD-2006-06-01-EN".
I have been able to run the Live CD but when it comes to getting the Internet Connection I now am at a loss. I tried the connection wizard that seemed to search for the PPPoE or something like that and eventually comes up with a window letting me know that it was not successful.
At this point I am stumped so if someone could point me in the right direction it would be really great.
My internet connection is through a Netcomm NB5 Plus 4 modem router, my connection is 512kb/sec.
Any help would be appreciated
Thank You
