I have a Knoppix Live CD. Last week I was giving it a try. I remember playing around with the network settings, and I eventually was able to go online and browse the Web. I wish I could remember what I did! Now, I can't get online. I use the "Configure Network Card" option and I said no to DHCP (as my ISP gives me a static IP address). I entered everything for IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, Broadcast Address (I'm not sure what this is, but I entered the first three numbers of my IP address and used 255 as the fourth number -- per instructions found on the Net), and Name Server for Eth0.

It's driving me crazy! I really wish I could remember what I did last week. I do not have a router; I just use a DSL modem.
