as to what can be inhibiting browser function. Any help please?
1) Have you used the wireless router to connect previously? It's not usual that you would be connected without having to click anything first - normally, one clicks the icon and chooses a "visible network," or chooses "Connect to a hidden network."

2) You say that Knoppix is "installed" - normally, that means copied to the hard drive in one way or another. At least in the beginning, Knoppix runs off of a CD, and there's a self-test feature that you might want to run. Boot to the "big penguin" prompt, then type in
Code:
knoppix testcd (or testdvd)
Hit the Enter key and you'll find out if you've got a good disk, at least.

Cheers!
