Having problems with knoppix install and accessing the web


I installed knoppix 5.01 to the hard drive of a PC someone gave me. It
is a pentium III with 256 meg ram, and 10 gig hard disk. I think it is
a 5 year old machine. When I boot the same version of knoppix from the
live CD, I seem to be able to access the internet no problm using
firefox or konqueror. When I boot from the hard drive, I can't seem to
get on the web, and I have booted and rebooted numerous times. I have a
cable modem by scientific atlanta, a webstar modem that runs off both a
ethernet and usb connection.

I had tried to install ubuntu 6.06, but the install ran extremely
slow, and it seemed to hang while formating the disk so I gave up on
that. If I can't get knoppix to access the internet, I may have to try
some other distro. Any recommendations appreciated.
