Currently im in vmware workstation running knoppix 6 i think and still on xp. P.S when i set it up i put bridged connection (Might be helpfull)
I have a Dsl modem (Speedtouch home)>connected to router(D-link WBR-1310)
DCHP i belive, My ip 192.168.0.100, submask 255.255.255.0, gw, 192.168.0.1
Recently ive ran into problems with the live CD when i boot it like boot it not in vmware but in boot menu, it goes everything works alright it goes it and all compiz works even no i have no graphics card its amazing ! but the issue is that it wont connect in knoppix. ok first it wont enable networking but it still trys to connect i can still access radio button on eth0, But i cant change any settings in manual or edit . When i run in vmware it auto maticly works because i think because my xp computer is connected already, what it shows is 2 computers ( I think its because its bridged, and yeah) my route in vmware im on now is here. Ill supply some more stuff for you guys.
P.S this is in the connection that is working
One more thing. Enable networking is not checked but it still works so thats not the problem
