The correct phrasing is I THINK "DSL, and internet connections are up and running " Blinking lights and an IP address mean little.. If youre using a USB wireless card, right click the network applet on taskbar, left click "Edit Connections," - "Wireless" and edit the connection, check the IPv4 and 6 tabs for checkbox indicating "requires..addressing" Ive seen Knoppix set those and goof up the connection. Also, be ABSOLUTELY sure thats a good burn, its VERY easy to mess it up... must to do the MD5 checksum. Things can be missing or non functional in Knoppix and you may not realize it. I burned one that had menu items missing. Enter the routers IP address in a browser (typically 192.168.1.1 and may need default username and password) and make sure communications between the computer and router works (maybe disconnect the internet to simpli\fy things) Beware of using wireless, it can appear for all the world as if somethings wrong, when its nothing but wireless reflections and someone elses router interfering with yours on the same channel.
