Internet Connectivity In KNOPPIX
 

I just started using the KNOPPIX v6.0 (incidentally my first LINUX OS!)

....I also have Windows XP Pro on my pc with a broadband connection.

All I want to know is that, how can I use the broadband connection in KNOPPIX???

is it wired, wireless, modem, router....

we would also know what kind of broadband , does it require a login, dhcp, static ? whats the connection type ?

Hi
How do you need to connect the PC to your Broadband? Wired or wireless? If your devices are recognized by the KNOPPIX distribution then it may just be setting up the network configurations. If the 'DHCP' doesn't get a IP then you may need to setup the network manually.

How about some hardware specifications? Especially your network devices.

The next links may help you for future posts. I suggest that you read the second link in my sig to assist you in composing a thorough post.

well... I use an ADSL modem, and a login is required to connect. The connection uses the phone line, and the lan is of realtek RTL8139 family PCI ethernet..... whenever I try to obtain an IP from the DHCP, it fails to provide one. My IP is not a stactic one....

....so, how to get an IP and configure the network?

Then you need to use pppoe

click on K(start), internet, adsl and that will let you configure all the parameters
