I tried Knoppix a few years ago with a Win98 PC but gave up after so mnay glitches that couldn't be resolved.
This week, I downloaded Knoppox again and after it boots up, everything is fine except that I am not connected to the internet. I am with Freenetname and have a Broadband account which goes on line as soon as the PC is switched on (I'm on Windows XP).
Weirdly, after Knoppix boots up, all the modem lights are on (Voygaer 205 ADSL Router) which is the sign that I am connected OK, but on loading up Firefox, and the Knoppix browser, it is clear
that I am not connected. I have looked at the 'internet' settings on Knoppix but quite frankly cannot supply several things it asks.
Is it usual to have this trouble, and can anyone shed any light on this, or am I again going to have to go back to Windows?

Thanks

David
