Network Con?guration

Under the Network/Internet menu, you will find scripts to automate the configuration of many different kinds of network connections. By default, Knoppix will attempt to detect any Ethernet or wireless cards on the system and will obtain an IP address via DHCP. If your hardware isn’t supported, or your network requires some extra configuration, the tools described here will help automate the process:

/dev/modem Connection Setup

If you use a modem to connect to the Internet, use this script to configure what hardware the /dev/modem device points to. You can choose from a number of different modem devices, including serial, USB, IrDA, Bluetooth, and even a winmodem, if Knoppix supports it.

ADSL/PPPOE Configuration

If you have a DSL connection that requires you to connect each time with a login and password, chances are that you have a PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) connection. This script checks whether your network uses PPPoE, and if so, prompts you for the user-name and password to connect to the network.

GPRS Connection

This script automates the process of connecting to a GPRS Internet connection over a cell phone. If you have not yet run the /dev/modem Connection Setup script, it will launch, so that you can choose how you will con nect to the cell phone. Then you will be able to choose your GPRS provider and connect to the network.

ISDN Connection

Fairly self-explanatory; this script automates the process of configuring an ISDN connection under Knoppix.

Modem Dialer

Once you configure your modem with the /dev/modem

Connection Setup script, run this script to actually dial and connect to your ISP.
