- I tried "K-menu>KNOPPIX>Network/Internet>Network card configuration", it gave the same as the command "netcardconfig", just some more text around the "Operation failed" response.

- lsmod lists 8139too as one of the loaded modules

- some searching in this forum made me try starting knoppix with the "knoppix noapic lang=be" command, that didn't help.

My ISP tries to prevent clients from using more than one pc on their broadband-connection. Could this be a factor in Knoppix not being able to get an ip-configuration through dhcp?

Can I make Knoppix use the same hostname as in Windows by using "pump -i eth0 -h zzyxxpc"?
