Edit /etc/network/interfaces to tell debian / knoppix how to bring up your default interface. 'man interfaces' for information and some good examples. After that, it's as simple as running 'ifup <interface>' or 'ifdown <interface>' where <interface> is usually eth0. Give yourself time to absorb this stuff so you don't get frustrated and blame yourself or Knoppmyth. It's usually just a question of getting used to a certain way of doing things or knowing where to start searching to find the answers. I haven't used Knoppix except to run off CD once or twice, but I highly recommend the Debian docs at http://www.debian.org/doc/ as a starting point. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
