Re: Having problems with knoppix install and accessing the web

Thanks, I posted this stuff below. Sounds alot more intersting than
windows. Anyway, I tried PCLinuxOS from a live CD. It was able to
access the web, but the whole system hung after a short while. I still
have knoppix on my hard disk.

ifconfig -a
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:F4:60:3D:EA
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Interrupt:11 Base address:0x6000

If this is what your ifconfig says under Knoppix running from your hard
disk, your eth0 is not configured then.

Select Network card configuration from K Menu>KNOPPIX>Network/Internet
and try using DHCP option for this; if DHCP option does not work, you
may manually configure this interface, but you should know well what you
are doing.

eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:14:F8:5C:07:55
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

The above said eth1 is an extra NIC; I'm not sure which one of these is
connected to your bridge and, or router. You may try configuring this if
your first NIC i.e. eth0 is not connected.

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:12 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:12 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:600 (600.0 b) TX bytes:600 (600.0 b)

The above is a loop back interface, might be working fine; you test is
as follows:

$ ping localhost

or

$ ping 127.0.0.1

sit0 Link encap:IPv6-in-IPv4
NOARP MTU:1480 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

This one is a virtual interface ipv6 <--> ipv4 encapsulation; you need
not touch it as yet, because only rare ISP have ipv6 routers.

route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface

Your routing table is empty, because your network adapters are not
configured.

cat /etc/resolv.conf
search sbo.ma.cable.rcn.com
nameserver 207.172.3.8
nameserver 207.172.3.9

Your /etc/resolv.conf seems a stale to me, don't worry it will be
updated automagically by DHCP (but you should be using DHCP to configure
one of your network interfaces).

Hope that helps!
