I am freaking out!!! I cannot force my KNOPPIX to get connected to the Internet. I have a laptop HP Pavilion ZE4125 with PCMCIA D-Link DFE690TXD. Knoppix 3.2. My network connection is LAN with DHCP. When I run netcardconfig and chose DHCP it fails to assign an IP. However, under windows it is set to DHCP and works just fine. Therefore, I have written down all the settings (IP, netmask, default gateway) from windows and entered them manually under netcardconfig.
When I type ifconfig -a it assigns the correct IP and netmask. However, I don't have an Internet connection still This is what I have entered: ifconfig eth0 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX netmask 255.255.254.0 route add default gw XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX metric 1 (XXX - taken from windows) then I modify my /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX ifdown -a ifup -a Then I try ping 127.0.0.1 - I got response (therefore my eth0 is up) ping XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX - my IP (the same, I get response) When I try to ping anything else for example: ping www.google.com - I get nothing ping my_default_gw_IP - I get nothing Here are the outputs of the important commands: dmesg | grep eth::::::: eth0: D-Link DFE-690TXD (RealTek RTL8139) at 0xe084d000, 00:50:ba:a8:ce:58, IRQ 5 eth0: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8139C' eth1: NatSemi DP8381[56] at 0xe087a000, 00:c0:9f:15:65:11, IRQ 11. eth0: Setting 100mbps full-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability 41e1. eth1: autonegotiation did not complete in 4000 usec. eth1: remaining active for wake-on-lan eth0: Setting 100mbps full-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability 41e1. eth0: Setting 100mbps full-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability 41e1. eth0: Setting 100mbps full-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability 41e1.
