Under Fedora, I merely have to "Activate" (using GUI) the ethernet card to access the Net/Lan. This also applies to most "Live CD" distros I have tried.
Knoppix (debian) however, times out when I try to set up the network card.
here is /etc/network/interfaces
address 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 gateway 192.168.0.254
All IPs are generated from the router/modem so should be no problems, though I suspect that these are the "normal" defaults for a network card under linux, and that I still just need to activate the network card.
Am I correct, and how do I activate eth0 under debian/Knoppix?
Thanks in advance
Bill (still in "learning" mode)
