Q: How do I get ADSL with PPTP in austria to work?
A: the following instruction should work: http://howto.htlw16.ac.at/at-highspeed-howto-2.html (German)
A: See Smb Client HowTo for connecting to windows shares. See Samba Quick FAQ for setting up a Samba server
Q: I have installed to my Hard Drive and how do I connect to internet using DHCP?
A: The harddisk-installed system is a "normal" Debian. You have to add the following lines to /etc/network/interfaces :
- auto eth0
- iface eth0 inet dhcp
re-start the network with /etc/init.d/networking restart to have the changes take effect.
Q: How do I browse through my Windows network at the office ? Can I log in at an NT domain ?
A: K-menu > Internet > Lin Neighborhood. Go to its preferences and specify IP for master server or WINS server. See also Samba info above.
Q: How do I use a static IP address with the CD-Rom? How do I modify /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf which are read only files? AFAIK, this is necessary to specify my IP address and my (ISP's) nameservers.
A: GUI driven configuration
The read only files are copied into a ram disc upon start up, hence they are easy to edit when root. Several tools are made available for easy configuration. For v3.2-v3.9:
K-menu > KNOPPIX > Network/Internet > Network card configuration
which is the same same as performing the
sudo netcardconfig
command from a shell. Fast, easy, automated script:
- decline DHCP
- enter IP address
- accept or edit other default settings
- Start firewall
===== A: Manual configuration
- start root shell
- Specification of nameservers, these should work for anyone as a first hack
cat >> /etc/resolv.conf <<EORESOLV nameserver 139.30.8.7 nameserver 139.30.8.8 <<EORESOLV
- Overwrite original network description
cat > /etc/network/interfaces <<EOINTERFACES auto lo eth0 iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet static address /your IP number goes here/ netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway /and your gateway's address/ <<EOINTERFACES
- Get things going, lo is going already
ifup eth0
- Start the fire wall with K-MENU -> KNOPPIX -> Services -> Firewall (someone please give the exact english spellings here)
In order to make this persistent with the next reboot, one should create a persistent image o the local changes, suggested is to use a USB stick for such. See K-MENU -> KNOPPIX -> Configuration -> Install permanent image + Save configuration. No data on the USB stick will be overwritten.
