Knoppix launches the
netcardconfig program in a console window.
If your computer has two or more
network interfaces (for example, an
Ethernet connection and a wireless
connection, or an Ethernet connection
and a FireWire card), Knoppix
displays an Xdialog box like the
one shown here, prompting you to
choose the network device. (If your
computer has only one network
interface, skip to step 3.) Select the
eth0 item, as this is usually the Ethernet
connection, and then click the
OK button.
Knoppix displays a dialog box asking whether you want to obtain an IP address
automatically via DHCP. If your network uses Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) to allocate available IP addresses automatically, as
many networks do by default, click the Yes button, and then go to step 5.
