When i run the DSL config script from the knoppix menu it tells me that it could not find an ethernet connection!
Boot the CD/DVD and then hit:

Penquin Icon, Configure Network/Internet then, NETWORK CARD configuration. Dont use the DSL/PPPoE script your not running the PPOE on your computer, thats the routers job and for you ISP its using PPPoA.

When the script runs it will ask if you want to use DHCP broadcast. Hit yes

See if the router supplies an IP etc.. and if the script closes with out an error. Then run a Konqueror sesssion and just try to go to the Knopper site or any other site. Continue on if you don't have working internet, otherwise stop here.

Boot under winviurs, and do a START, RUN, type CMD (hit return) then at the C:\> prompt type ipconfig /all (hit enter)

Write down: IP address, DNS servers, default gateway IP addresses.

If the netcard script under Knoppix doesn't work RERUN the same Network Card config, Answer NO to DHCP broadcast Then answer the questions using the values from the winvirus session. See if that brings your network up.

Try these first, and post back results, and worst case if it comes to it you may have to edit some things by hand.
