Q: How do I get my DSL to work that already works on my windows xp in California?

A: the following instruction should work: http://howto.htlw16.ac.at/at-highspeed-howto-2.html (German)

Alternate method, by a noob---for Knoppix 5.1.1 I don't claim to be an expert, but this worked for me!  :-) (All these steps may not be necessary, but it worked for me-YMMV.)

  • From the Knoppix taskbar icon, -configure networking
netcardconfig
-try 'yes' to autoconfigure  (This didn't work for me.  No idea why.)
ifconfig
  • If the network interface card is correctly configured, you should see BOTH the 127.0.0.1 loopback interface AND a local network address. It takes up about 15 lines. If yes, you're golden, if not..
  • From another machine on the network, log on to the router. (Look at the instructions that came with your router for how to do this.) In my Siemens SpeedStream 2614 4 port DSL/Cable Router, the location is 192.168.254.254 and after logging in, the opening page shows the following:

INTERNET Cable/DSL : CONNECTED WAN IP: 74.68.xx.yyy Subnet Mask: 255.255.240.0 Gateway IP: 74.68.ff.ggg DNS: 24.29.www.xyz

In 'Simple Setup' the allowed range of IP addresses is defined.

  • From your root shell, enter this sequence of commands:
netcardconfig --select 'no' to manually configure the NIC
  -enter an unused IP address in the acceptable range for your router
  -when asked for the following, enter the information from the router:
  -Subnet Mask:  255.255.240.0  
(I accepted the default, 255.255.255.0,  and it worked fine.  
Like I said, I'm not an expert!)
  -Gateway IP: (from your router)  74.68.ff.ggg
  -Name server: DNS:  24.29.www.xyz   ('Domain Name Server')
ifconfig 

to see if network interface card is correctly configured, as above. If not, lather, rinse, repeat. If it is, try

ping 192.168.254.254   (the IP address of the router above)  and 
ping 192.168.254.xxy   (the IP address of the other machine)
(Hit <CTRL> C   to stop the pinging!)

If this works, you're in!
