Have you booted Knoppix? In my experience it configures its connection
automatically.

"Some kind of problem?" Maybe we'll be able to help with "some kind of
solution."

BTW, your list of groups is screwed up.

My Knoppix was internet ready the first time I booted the live CD.

There was some configuration required to get on my home network of
Windows computers.

jimbo.

my windows os is configured to use VPN in the cable modem internet
connection
i remember that when i tried to configure internet access with Red Hat i had
to MANUALLYtype the ISP server IP address.
the fact that i did not succeede in conecting drove me to try the
recommended Knoppix system.
how could Knoppix guess the IP address alone?
i would like some simplified explannation on where and how this is done.
for now i get unable to access (whichever web site address i mark)
and sometimes "no access to port 80" (or was it "port 80 is not configured
correctly"?)
it is difficult to shutdown windows and load Knoppix for each individual
configuration.
i am mearly asking for help on a beginner's level.
be gentle with me...
thank you

.... get Mepis, the Live CD, which you boot and run
from, then you can [simply] install it to the hard
drive, then you dont have to switch back-n-forth
to post to the groups.

Verify your NIC is recognized at start-up.

I have to manually install drivers thru the "expert" install (Download
the Knoppix cheat codes if you don't know what this is) when I load
Knoppix 3.6

If your NIC is recognized, I have no suggestions because Knoppix is
great about being Internet ready (again, if all hardware is
recognized).

thank you for the advice
is it different from Knoppix?
is it similar to Linux red hat?
how do I "switch back and forth?
does installation require changing the MBR?

I agree with what mjt said, Eli. Try MEPIS and, if you're still having
trouble with VPN, try here again.
