I hope this isn't a double post but I posted this originally on Friday
and haven't seen it on the list. I've been having problems connecting
however.

I could use some help. I've been using Knoppix 5.3.1 & Knoppix 5.1.1
for some time and Unix and SuSE Linux a lot longer; I've never been
able to get Knoppix to work with my LAN which is running with several
SuSE machines. This was never a major problem as I simply moved
files on a thumb drive.

However, I'm now trying to play with uml and networking is now
something I must have. I disconnected one of my boxes from the LAN
and tried to set up my network card on it. I tried using both my
desired addresses and the defaults with the same results. I know
I'm overlooking the obvious, have checked the FAQs which seem mostly
wireless in their problems, I'm using CAT5.

What have I overlooked?
