Re: ADSL connection & Telstra Australia

Hi,

there should me no problem with an ethernet modem... it should give you
an address via dhcp, if dhcp is active. Maybe it is not. Try from Win to
do the following:

lanunch a command shell (Run... command), and then type

ipconfig /All

then it should tell you something like:

STUFF STUFF STUFF
IP address: aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
subnet mask: eee.fff.ggg.hhh
default gateway: iii.jjj.kkk.lll
STUFF STUFF

If you find an entry "DHCP server" after this stuff, then the problem is
somewhere else (your network card... what does ifconfig -a on a knoppix 
terminal says?). If it doesn't, boot up Knoppix, open a terminal and type

sudo su -
ifconfig eth0 IP_ADDRESS netmask NETMASK broadcast BROADCAST up
route add -net default gateway GATEWAY dev eth0

where BROADCAST is aaa.bbb.ccc.255 if the subnetmask is 255.255.255.0
		   aaa.bbb.255.255			255.255.0.0
