Okay, I'm back from booting over to Knoppix.

1) I CANNOT ping knoppix.net.
2) I CAN ping 72.232.180.133.

So that basically means I have "a DNS issue". ifconfig shows my eth1 information and my loopback information.

Tried netcardconfig both DHCP auto, and by trying it manually, local IP 192.168.1.40, mask 255.255.240.0, gateway IP is 192.168.1.1, and nameservers I've tried both 192.168.1.1 (default) and 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 (OpenDNS dns servers), no difference.

I can still ping addresses, but not by name.

I'm going to be off for the next five hours, I'll be back after that. But again, thank you VERY much for your prompt response!!!
