I can't seem to get network connection under Knoppix, though I've read this thread.

Under WinXP, I'm connected just fine through a Linksys Router to a cable modem.

Using Linksys Router's setup (http-based), I can get the IP address WinXP uses, the network mask, default gateway, etc. There's IP address for LAN and WAN, and I'm not sure which to use...

But anyhow, I get into Knoppix, and run netcardconfig. It asks me:

> use DHCP broadcast?

since yes doesn't work, I try no,

> IP address for eth0

I type in what I think win XP uses - 192.168.1.100

> network mask for eth0

255.255.255.0

> broadcast address for eth0

I tried a few things, including what the router calls "DHCP server address", 192.168.1.1

> default gateway

I tried what the router says is the default gateway under the WAN settings

> name server(s)

It defaults to the two that the router is using

then it gives me

> ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.1 up

(pause)

> route add default gw (default gateway IP address here)

followed quickly by:

> SIOCADDRT:Network is unreacheable
> auto lo eth0

followed by the nameserver stuff.

Obviously, the SIOCADDRT business, whatever that is, is my problem...


Any suggestions?
