Hi I am sure this has been asked a great deal before but none the less I have never used linux and only used the cd-rom a few days ago so forgive me if I sound like an extreme newbie (windows born and bred):

Like I said I got the cd-rom and installed, went smoothly until it was time for the internet,
surprise surprise no connection
I read some of the replies in this group on what to do:
I went back to windows did ipconfig noted the settings, ip address, gateway, gateway mask..came back to knoppix via the cd-rom and ran knoppix>netword card configuration from the lower left hand option and put in the settings I had obtained from windows...still nothing.

I then ran k-mail and put in the smtp, pop3 and username and password I use for the blueyonder service, I read somewhere here that kmail should help knoppix auto detect your network settings and let you on the net, am afraid still nothing.

So here I post, I have run out of ideas as to what to do to get my internet working on knoppix, I am on winxp

thanks for any help
