Ok, so here is what unfolded this afternoon, following a tiresome electrical and computer engineering exam nonetheless.

I booted knoppix, and launched firefox. I got the message Checking Compatibility of Add Ons, which lasted for several minutes, then the window just disappeared. At this point, fed up, I just left it and did some calc homework. A few minutes later, the FF browser popped. So I typed about:config and disabled IPv6 DNS, closed FF and reopened. I tried to get to google.com, nothing. So i tried knoppix.net, still nothing. At this point I typed 72.232.180.133 in, and like magic I'm at Knoppix.net. Then i tried knoppix.net, that worked as well. So i tried google.com and that worked too. I searched for "knoppix forum", and thats where I am right now, posting this reply. Is this a predicted course of events?[/list]
