I think more information is needed before anyone could really give you truly beneficial help. All you have informed us of is : 1. It doesn't work. 2. His ISP is Telus. Answers to the following questions might be useful in tracking this problem down. 1. What version are you using? 2. How are you attempting to have a connection to the internet? (ie. what do you do, what are your assumptions etc.) Details are always beneficial when asking for help. 3. Have you read the knoppix documentation? If so what did it say in specific relation to networking? 4. Have you searched the internet for information? If so what did you find, and where? Try googling for knoppix and networking. I did and found plenty of information that is most likely what you are looking for. I won't get into all of the details. I'll leave that up to you, it's out there on the net, and very easy to find. Good luck, Andy
