Getting on the Network
If you have an Ethernet card and a connection to a network that has a DHCP server, your KNOPPIX
system should just start up and offer immediate access to that network (and possibly the Internet
if it offers such a connection). If not, KNOPPIX offers several tools for configuring your network
connection, including:
 Dial-up modem??”From the squished penguin, select Network/Internet???/dev/modem
connection setup. The menus that appear help you create a dial-up connection to the
Internet, or other TCP/IP network, using a serial modem, USB modem, IRDA cell
phone/PDA, or Bluetooth cell phone/PDA.
 ADSL router??”From the squished penguin, select Network/Internet???ADSL/PPPOE
configuration. It will help you connect your broadband ADSL router to connect to the
Internet.
 GPRS connection??”From the squished penguin, select Network/Internet???GPRS/UMTS
connection to set up a connection via your cell phone provider.
 Network card??”From the squished penguin, select Network/Internet???Network card
configuration to configure your Ethernet card (assuming you don??™t just want to use DHCP
to get your network address).
 ISDN??”From the squished penguin, select Network/Internet???ISDN to use ISDN to
connect to the network.
 Wireless card??”From the squished penguin, select Network/Internet???Wavelan to use
a wireless Ethernet card to connect to the network.
