I think there was a misunderstanding.
I am using static IPs (if i'm correct that's exactly the opposite of DHCP).
So that is why i have to configure my
IP address to 192.168.2.101
Netmask 255.255.255.0
Broadcast 192.168.2.255 - works now
Gateway 192.168.2.1
always. i.e. I need them to stay like that .
I think once i had found a command to display all the hardware configuration - if you can tell it to me it's better but i might find it again.
I didn't quite understand what you meant by NIC but i'm using ASRock motherboard 939A8X-M with
Ali/Uli M5263 ethernet .
I will try checking if knoppix is configuring the right driver for it.
The problem you mentioned about the gateway was in fact about the broadcast. I didn't know what to put there and while doing netcardconfig i mistyped and put 192.168.0.255 instead of 192.168.2.255. I think that 192.168.2.255 is good, right?
About NTFS : is there any safe way to share data between linux and windows (until i get everything running ok)?
Please confirm that my IP settings look fine now.
And also if you can, give me some commands that will give you the answers you need.
