I have an ethernet card in my machine which connects with my wife's machine. Her's is set up as 192.168.0.1, this one is 192.168.0.2. I also have a modem in both machines. When knoppix boots up it finds the ethernet card and says we're gonna use that come hell or high water. I had the same problem with Mandrake and finally found the solution there in the set up.

Now under knoppix these things I did under Mandrake don't work.

route -n #this finds the IP address I am dialled into
route del default
route add default gw x.x.x.x #(x.x.x.x is what was found above)

would always work to get me out on the internet after I have dialled up.

This does not do the job under knoppix, even tho it says it has done right. I know it is Debian, so what is different that I have to do under it?????
