(Sorry for the subject line, I couldn't resist!)

I am new to Knoppix and was wondering if there was a simple tutorial or help section on setting up a simple home network. I currently have three XP Home machines networked.
If I run Knoppix from the CD, is there a way to set up the network so that each time I boot to Knoppix the network is set up, or would it need to be reestablished each time I boot.
Thanks!
